This is America... We’re supposed to be free
This is America...where nothing is free
Why are people living and dying in squalor? 
Why does everything revolve around to the dollar?
 
If Marvin (Gaye) was here, I’m sure he’d still “Holla”

“Makes me wanna holla”
Makes me wanna scream…
Makes me wanna wake up from this nightmare of a dream

This is America...where dreams come true 
This is America...where opportunity is equal
Why does Katrina’s aftermath seem like slavery’s sequel? 

This is America...we aid the rest of the world there’s no doubt
This is America...now we do without
Americans are now referred to as refugees
Why did it take so long for America...to answer the pleas?
Why are so many Americans, NOT down on their knees?  

“Makes me wanna holla”
Makes me wanna scream…
Makes me wanna wake up...and find it was dream

This is America...love it or leave it”
This is America...though it may be hard to believe it.

This   is   America

THIS IS AMERICA?
