Black Man In America
Black Man In America for to long our chains held us so tight
beaten down as far as the dust chained to the night
Black Man In America can't you see
we free now at least physically
but freedom isn't free if we still enslaved mentally
Black Man In America stand up and let your voices be heard your families are calling you because they don't deserve to be deserted or mistreated
let us be stronger than they because the greatest retalation is providing a successful way
for your black babies and mine to have a brighter day
they are calling out to you heed their cry and respond favorably to them saying here am I
Black Man In America we must continue to wage this fight and let our hands be strong and our fingers do the fightin'
Black Man In America a success you must become because without success our freedom wasn't really won
Black Man In America stand up and be heard its imperative for you to provide the light for a brighter day that your children so richly deserve
Black Man In America

America The Beautiful
America The Beautiful
That what the song says
Those words ring loud and true
Every day that Im alive
I see those words before my eyes
Anywhere I chance to look
In my heart this land will stay
America The Beautiful
Open meadows clear blue skies
Hills all covered green
I have been so many places
Theres much that I have seen
America The Beautiful
Thats what the song says
America The Beautiful
Will remain my home sweet home
If for some unknown reason
Youre unhappy with this land
You can always feel free to leave
But in a freer country youll never stand

Land Of The Free
You tell me that america is a free country,
but I ask you, 'What is free about America? ' If America
were a free country, we would have no religious intolerence. We
would have no racial or interracial discrimination. Language
would not be a barrier of separation. America can never be
a free country, because no matter how diverse we
become, there will always be hatered and segregation
Somewhere in this country.

America 'The Great'
If America's so beautiful
If America's so great
Then why is it everywhere I go I only see hate
If America is the greatest country in the world
Why so many needless deaths?
It makes my stomach curl
Sure there's opportunity but who's it for you ask?
People who make it big by chance or the one's who already have cash
So if you think your countries bad think of what I say
America's going down the drain so wherever you are just stay
