PASS ON ME

Got to have a dream beyond what I can see

Wondering what is my destiny

Life is so upsidedown got to know now

Pass on me everything I need

Peace and freedom are confusing to the uneducated mind.

Just want to live the privileged lie.

Got have a vision beyond what others believe.

Building the foundation of what makes me

Life is the music listen and turn it up loud.

Pass on me the secrets of being free

Purity and love are much more than a social activity.

Trying to understand wrong from right.

The recorded appreciation for inspiring the ego

This is not what feeds the soul.

Go inside, find that meditated sound.

HOME OF THE BRAVE or HOME OF THE SLAVE

I have no home

The land that I live on is not my home

It was another man's home

Plenty was the land, it proved all his needs

Every thing for life

Every thing for death

Am I a thief

Even though I didn't live in that century

When killing and raping the land

Was the plan

We brag

Land of the free

Home of the brave

More like

Land of the prisoner

Home of the slave

Who is better

The person being kicked?
Or the person doing the kicking?

40 stitches and a medical bill

In the past

It was 40 acres and a mule

With that we could give back

Land of the greed

Home of the need

We can't see past what we only want to see

Telling problems every one wants to hear

Tell me some solution no need for revolution

Why hate some one who says your idea is great

No one is going to clean your dirty plate

Political solutions is not the way

Community solution we need today

Brother helping brother

Sister helping sister

Land for me
Land for you

Land for all of us
