POND

You muddy the waters with your uneducated mind.
Floating on top of the waters, you are just slime.
The water isn't deep when you got mud on your feet.
So much below got to know the diversity beneath

Pond
You want to be the big fish.

Soon to be fried on a dish.

You fell out of the eighth grade; all you learn was hate.
Your problems are the same as look for someone to blame
Don't even know who is making a fool of you.

So you blame the unfulfilled lies feeling you lose your mind.

Pond

Can't you see he maid you out to be a whore

Now look who is knocking at your door.

REVOLUTIONARY SOUL

There is more then what you see
More than what you are told to believe
You can't have what you already own

Take back your peace it is more than anything
Take back your love there is beauty in every one
Take back your purity the way you live will make you free

Revolutionary soul
Much more than owning all the gold
Revolutionary soul
Much more than fame or what you think you know

A magician wants you to believe what you can not see
That is what the politicians strive to be
Putting a price on being alive all the time living a lie

Take back your joy learn something you didn't know
Take back your happiness when stressed you got to rest
Take back your dream so much more you could ever be

Revolutionary soul
Much more than being the popular one
Revolutionary soul
Much more than a rule that doesn't apply to you

Diversity is a mixture of everything even when some can't see
Some people limit themselves that is the opposite of free
Seeking attention from the one with an ego of greed

Take back your education it is the one thing you can do on your own
Take back your community this is where a leader should be
Take back your freedom than any time you can stop and admire the sky

Revolutionary soul
Much more than anyone opinion
Revolutionary soul
Much more than this container for the soul

GREEN GREED

Leaders can't see the change going on beyond their own greed
Plastic in the seas the burning of all the trees
Hot where it should be cold something the almanac didn't know

Green greed
The rich can't see the change as they make the money rain
As the uneducated buys, their lies like its the newest style

What we got they can't have so they tax every man
Keeping their secrets is the only solution they don't know who their fooling
No proof to the lies they are tooling

Green greed
Ignorance is a political seed no way anyone to be free
As the world crumbles down can't see the dawn through the weeds

The hypocrite laugh at there own jokes
As the sing superstar lip-sinks to their own voice
Fake isn't the way your maid you choose to be that way

Green greed
Have no trust in what you see so you create your own reality
You got no cash so tell ever one the world is flat

This is not about you not about me
Not even about those who dream of the things they need

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
