Growing into success

What’s real,

Is it what we see or feel,

Or is it that so many people dying from illegal drugs and prescription pills,

We are so worried about war over seas. What about the war we’re fighting on our own field,

Homelessness, racism, police brutality, war, hate, politics and government,

How do you think this feels,

They don’t want to talk about this,

Look at the lies they teach our kids,

How could Christopher Columbus discover America if the Indians were already here,

In fact, they taught them how to live,

And make use of the land then they were killed,

What’s real,

Is that this country was built off the backs of slaves,

Some we don’t even know their names,

Or even show any appreciation for their skills,

And that’s real,
