America Ain’tDone Nothing For Me
By Quiashialyn P., Calumet City, IL
America ain’t done nothing for me
She set my world on fire.
Sending relatives to a war
I don’t think it should be.
I ain’t fighting for a country that ain’t fighting for me.
Hatred is in my heart
At the beginning of the day
No one wants the pledge to start.
One nation under God
Who’s God in this nation?
No one is stating whose guiding this nation.
Does every situation have to end up
Segregated and aggravated
Leaving us with war-hungry politicians who take pride
in fighting
Instead of feeding a world that is highly populated?
America ain’t done nothing for me
She destroyed my family tree.
Left me to wonder
If she knows what family means?
The economy has dropped
Leaving my family in a bunch.
Never would have imagined I would have to have
Free lunch
America ain’t done nothing for me but make my heart bleed
Dust me off in my time of need.
She ain’t done nothing for me
She made me feel a lot of
Pain and misery
America ain’t done nothing for me
She left me in a dark place where there is no light.
She made it so every time one of my brothers sees
an opposing gang
He’s ready to fight.
America ain’t done nothing for me
She kept my pride down.
Instead of smiling
I’ll always wear a frown.
America ain’t done nothing for me.
