Living in America: 2019

Writer's picture: Mark ChinMark Chin

The world is starting to change into something I don’t like

what happened to just men and women? Now there’s different types

grown men want to be women, women want to be men and little boys I think are confused

dressing in dresses and high-heel freaking shoes

what happened to playing outside with your friends

and playing all day till it’s time to come in

children over weight cuz they not watching what they eat

eyes r only on their phones their games and their TVs

hate is all-around I thought we were the land of the brave

mass shootings every other day not caring that all hate does is dig graves

sex trafficking by rich n respectable people we should trust

if we can't believe the government man that rough

blaming r President for doing nothing bad

downgrading his character only because of the trash talking that he said

I understand nobody's perfect and I ain’t one to judge

people talking so much nonsense I guess they just like holding any grudge

America the great the land of the free

but don’t just come here so u can live off me

opportunities all around u gotta want it hard

fight past the lies that’s on the news r leaving the kids scarred

trillion dollars in debt but there’s weed that’s everywhere

they don’t know how tax it so they’re not going there

the world is looking ugly I hate the way it looks

the special interests keep us in the dark but they’ve planted in their hooks

I don’t listen to the fake news cuz they always stating lies

never really focus on the problems in r lives

unemployment at its lowest then it’s been in a while

thanks to Donald Trump taking on liberals in style

protesters protesting but they don’t even have a clue

on what to say or what to do

the opioid addiction how its taking lives

wrenching kids from their parents and husbands from their wives

I’m proud to be an American where I know I’m always free

but there are people in this world who don’t see like I see

I don’t want immigrants to enter with no check

don’t know what he is or whether she’ll give back

I can call him a thug a killer or rapist

that free speech doesn’t make me bad or a racist

I want America safe before we make it great

I agree we need a wall with a mighty big gate

when I was just a kid I didn’t play on a phone

I rode my bike to a friend’s to see if he was home

boys wanna be girls and girls wanna be boys

but I believe they’re too young to really make that choice

everybody’s getting soft nobody has no hands

divided we fall and united we stand

fight for r country don’t make us look bad

let’s show the other countries that next to us they r simply just sad

right now it’s hard to sleep we scared to close r eyes

scared to watch the news cuz I know it’s all just lies

I believe in my country I got pride in my state

even though the world is beset by evil and hate

how can parents hurt their kids just cuz they got mad

those r crazy people they have voices in their head

how can people bust up a little girl or a little boy

hurt that young kid now their life is destroyed

I will always stand tall for my country and my race

an Asian come to America there is no better place

I fight for what I believe in that’s my God given right

who r u to tell me my values aren't worth a fight

they say God will be the judge but judgements are already being made

by people of higher power but I stand here unafraid

make America great again I’ll back that all the way

for all homeless people and for u I will pray

u wanna take r guns r right to bear arms

thats like trying take away all of r alarms

restricted gun laws would it really matter

just teach the kids how to be better

if they getting bulled then speak up don’t keep it in the dark

there’s people there to help if u feeling torn apart

and children if u see it don’t hesitate to speak

its takes courage to stand up, now that is something neat

I thank all r fighting soldiers n fallen ones too

u make us feel safe with the job that u do

America if we weren’t the best then real immigrants won’t wanna come

this the land of the free which u can call home

start fresh and all new get a second chance

become a US citizen stand up for r flag and dance

don’t say u want a change but do nothing for that change

then complain about r immigrants whose lives you see as strange

so if I see u kneel when r flag is being raised

then I’m just gonna think u from a different place

cuz no American should kneel we should stand with pride

and be happy to see our flag wave up in the sky with nothing to hide

America I love u thanks for being dope

wishing and I’m praying that some people in this land will find hope

America the brave America the free

land of rich and opportunity

a place to have a dream where u can make true

America the place where goals among the gods u can pursue

America my land America my home

the place I would die for and where my soul will always roam
