Maybe the way I see it now

is how it’s always been..

But it only becomes clear,

As an adult wielding a calculator and pen.

Maybe this country’s told story

is just a romanticized ruse…

The truth has always been power

A game of I win, you lose.

I, are the men in control

and you, are all of us treading.

But don’t be fooled, it’s not water…

It’s blood from all the beheading.
