Shouldn't we be first
Should we be last ?
We come in so many shapes and shades
We are smart I mean the genius type
We are hard workers not lazy
Come get to know me you would be surprised
The lies are not the truth
We love just like everyone else
We bleed the same
We want a fair shake
We want our American Pie
Stop denying the truth
The world has seen what is done in dark
finally come to light
So many generations fighting for the same thing
The right to be free and live where we want
Why do we have to check to see how many of us
are in a city before we move because we know
you will try to make us disappear without a trace
but the younger generations are getting wiser
and realizing the lies and the books don't tell it all
they listen to our music and see our movies
the internet can be a wonderful thing if you let it
we want more than our ancestors had
you don't get to decide how big my slice of pie is
just get on the bus and take your seat don't
expect me to be in back unless I want to
I will be in the front and look you in the eye
so you know it's me and I might even
say Hi!
We
We
