HA! Democracy, the mere sound of it rings with hypocrisy
While freedom rings red, white, blue that don’t mean shit for me and you
If you happen to be red, black or brown
Fifty stars and thirteen stripes but none of them represent our strife
True stardom is never ours unless you can toss a ball or shake your ass in bars
All the while "they" excel and our babies are caught up in standardized test hell and jails
A system designed to make them fail, but the one who fails is society until we learn equity there is no hope to ever be free
