There were Nations here before our nation
The settlers settled on lies of creation
And made the Fourth exclude the First
The greatest lies became the worst
Our best heroes are treated lesser
Yet history should teach us better
Dark deeds against the darkest people
As murder, rape was all made legal
The colonizers cast their shadows
Post-slavery, we still see shackles
But I will fight to save this country
Because we’re built on more than money
And this is our home too
It’s black within red, white, and blue
We fight so we can stop stagnation
And make it truly the best Nation.
