Letter To My Countrymen

I used to think I hated this place

Couldn't wait to tell the president straight to his face

But lately I changed, nowadays I embrace it all

Beautiful ideals and amazing flaws

Got to care enough to give a testament

'Bout the deeply depressing mess we're in

It's home so we better make the best of it

I wanna make this country what it says it is

Still dream in the vividest living color

No matter how many times my love been smothered

Who's ever above us won't just let us suffer

All of this struggling got to amount to something

This is a letter to my countrymen

Especially those my age and younger than

We're up against an ugly trend

Everybody's hustling don't nobody touch their friends

No group singing and dancing

No anthem nobody holds hands, and...

Instead they give a handheld

And make you shoulder life's burden by your damn self

One thing that can't be debated

Power never changed on it's own you got to make it

That's why community is so sacred

That's the symbol that we make when we raise fists

"Sooner or later"
