Sweet America

UNBEARABLE TO WITHSTAND...
PAIN CAUSED BY A CLOSE HAND...
NO FREEDOM IN THIS FREEDOM LAND...
RESULT IS DEATH IF ONE TAKES A STAND...
LONELY AND FULL OF EMOTIONS...
CONSCIOUS BUT DROWNING IN THE OPEN OCEAN...
BEWARE BECAUSE TRUTH IS DEADLY...
OBESE FROM THE LIES THEY FED ME...
I AM HURT BUT SO IS THE PAIN...
CONGRATULATIONS WHICH THEY SAY IN VAIN...
I DISCOVERED THE SOUL OF THE ROOT...
I DID IT FROM BENEATH THE SOLE OF THE BOOT...
MY PATH CAN NOT BE IMMOBILIZED...
 FOR THERE IS THE PRESENCE OF THE HOLIES EYES...
I STILL CONQUER EVEN THOUGH THEY OPPRESS ME...
JUST NEVER THOUGHT MY BROTHERS WOULD NEGLECT ME...
OH FREEDOM I SING SO DESPERATELY...
SWEET AMERICA PLEASE HAVE RESPECT FOR ME...
