Another random song put out there by upcoming MC Phortissimo. I wanted the beat to be like those used in freestyle battles.

(Lyrics)
Let's get back to the basics
Take another lap round the track with your Asics
Back when rap expressed what our taste is
Matter of fact when we weren't so racist
Wish it wasn't if you had gats or braces
Or if you could act with beautiful faces
Stab your back if you see your chance and take it
Gang up in packs saying that you'll never make it
Is this what I'm promised in this promising land?
All I've seen in abundance is contraband
Where's my freedom of speech or my freedom of press
Seems like it's now the freedom to oppress.
But freedom nonetheless, is what I possess
Unless I crossed over to have more order
See the border is just a line in the mind
To divide to say what's what and what's mine
See we're all the same kind, just as equal
Then why are some tried as illegals?
We're supposed to be free like bald eagles
But now we're tied to land like seagulls.
Give me your tired, your poor, yearning to be free
But saying, hey maybe not from that country
These pleas, America, oblige them please
Seems justice is blind as can be.

Yeah, Round 2:

Now it's evident from the sentiments
People's money spent, they can't pay their rent
And although it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready to see a brown President
Unless he renounces his Indian ways
Or an assassin limits his number of days
It's a shame that that's the price to pay
To lead the way in the USA
Don't think I'm hatin' for what I say
We gotta take the good, the bad, and the okay
This all I've known, this all I've seen
It has made me grown into what I be
But what I see, when I look inside
Two nat'l prides battling each side
It's like I have national identity crises
I'm two in one, just like Pisces.
But for my side why do I have to choose it?
If I still connect, I don't have to lose it
I express myself through my music
My pursuit of happiness, it's time to use it.
