What We Got

Note: In lieu of the drug killings here in my country. What has our leader brought us? He made promises But he demolishes everything Freedom stood for Blood is spilled and pours on the floors Of the nation our founding fathers built Children are collateral The poor are like cattle And his supporters rattle and tattle like It's a fair-fought battle Is this what we wanted? A constitution that talks about rights and justice But ain't practiced or cared for or trusted? On your knees! On your knees! Instead of profit we got more fees Instead of process, you have to flee When they give you a gun And tell you to run And then you're SHOT. That's we got, people. From him, that's what we got.
