REINCARNATION OF HATE

Don't believe in dreams, don't believe in peace
How can he when thinks he has everything

We thought hate died in 1945
But it came back in white sheets and pointy hats
The fight for freedom was it worth that

Don't believe in love, don't believe that justice is for all
How can we when the system distorts these things

Reincarnation of hate returns again in 1985
Slithering through the White House doors
Infected by hate poisoning ever floor this isn't America anymore

Don't believe in kindness, don't believe in respect.
Posting your thoughts and prayers make you attention-grabbing whore
Respect is earned, you have no hair so you can't get a perm

Reincarnation of hate for you hell has no place
With you at the door puts their reputation stake
As Channy cuts the lin in front of you

DARE YOU

I dare you to say your free
With your red hat on and not know what that means to me
Saying the exact same thing as the commander of greed
You have no originality you don't know how to think

I dare you to say your free
With your read hat on, claiming no collusion
Alone in a room with Putin what you think they were doing
Comparing the hairs on each other's chest

I dare you to say your free
With your red hat on, excluding those who are different from you
Your culture is so boring, diversity is what create great things
Hate does nothing to uplift community

I dare you to say your free
With your read hat on, repeating all the lies you heard
"If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed."
Hitler said that your greatness represents that.

I dare you to say your free
With your read hat on, needing your gun for protection
When all it protects is fear and intimidation
You are the new slave to this administration

I dare you to say your free

DINER

Three eggs medium, hashbrowns, and toast
Coffee, please as the noise of dishes crash into the bus tub
"Would that be all" she would say
"Nothing else thank you" I would say
Looking at the jukebox to see what Prince song to play
"Breakfast Can Wait" will go good with these eggs
In a flash, the cook brings me a plate
The tattooed waitress refills my coffee
Will her tip go to fill in the rest of the tattoo on her neck

WET CHICKEN

The teacher warned me about you
Your just another cackling fool
The smell of you is just not cool

Wet chicken
Not enough sense to get out of the rain
Wet chicken
Always looking for someone to blame

Sitting on your stoop not minding what you do
So privileged sitting above everybody
If told to, you would eat the president's poop

Wet chicken
Not enough sense you got no shame
Wet chicken
Living in lire's cage, you gave your freedom away

Farmer Don whoring you out just for scrambled eggs
Taken advantage of one day will cost you thigh and a leg
You will be the Kentucky fried fool to the winning team he will serve you

Wet chicken
Strutting with nothing to do
Wet chicken
A FOX will make a fool of you and eat you

QUALITY OF ME

In a place of no reputation, I look to my own destination
These dreams in this life are the cream, but there is much more to me

Quality of me
We all have dreams, we all have needs
But what is different about me goes so deep
Seeing the value in time looking forward to the next day's light

Work ethic is not about giving and taking
It is the value I get from a job well done
Even when I am the only one

Quality of me
Time should never wait on me
I should be in the moment and ready for anything
Every day should be about reality

Just because you give less
That is no reason for me not to be limitless
Service towards others shouldn't be faked

Quality of me
I might have feelings, but that doesn't make me weak
I am a soul with a higher purpose for humanity to be set free
Verifying every thought deep in my heart this is me

Only a fool thinks the world revolves around just one
Peace is not made from a gun it come from unconditional love
The soul never get tired even when it runs

Quality of me
I might have doubts, but that isn't what I am about
I have needs there much more than anything you can see

NOTES:

PRIVILEGED LIFE

This life feels like it has maid wrong turn to our destination
Thinking the next turn will be our real liberation
No one thinking they just blindly listening
Responsibility is placed on the victim, for that there is no forgiving

Privileged life
Threaten by other people enjoying life
As they cut barbecue with a knife

A closed mind is closed to the diversity of life
It is a threat to the boredom of uncultured traditions
Pride in hate does not make anyone great

Privileged life
Threaten by historical truths who really owned whom
When true love was found jumping over the broom

What is marriage the beginning to everlasting romance
Or a contract where you only get half as the lawyers laugh
Unconditional love should be the goal of everyone

Privileged life
When there is proof you are wrong
But you lie with the same old song

Stick a needle in your eye there no way to explain your lie
Step on a crack to break your mother's back (is that what Sarah's children try to do?)
With no job you lost all your pride all you got is time

GAZE

She got the walk you think you got the line
But you can't talk for you she is too fine

Gaze
You got no game
Gaze
You just so lame
With that gaze

Why you look at her that way
Like she is some kind of prey

Gaze
What you got to say
Gaze
When you see her every day
Look away with that gaze

You might be hooked on her looks
Got to get to know her so read her like a book

Gaze
This life is a maze
Gaze
If you want some
Personel fun is more than that gaze

Her feminity is a strength it will make you weak
Her voice so strong knowing right from wrong

Gaze
Can't hide from those dark eyes
Gaze
If you don't listen to the truth, it is just noise
This world is mine, and yours hold that gaze
