Amer I CAN | EP By The Crossing Crew

I Belong

I been told to sell my soul

your so cold, you take control

that so old, power bold

no no love, you so shallow

I been told to sell my soul

Jesus wrong, our freedom gone

that so old, liars sold

wise men know, fools will follow

I belong to the giving nation

I belong with the giving man

I belong to the freedom nation

I know love oh yes we can

I gonna stop, and inventory my situation

my bad behavior clearly understood

I gonna drop, and pray for my relation

I'll be standing here

with what is right and is good

I been told to sell my soul

your so cold, you take control

that so old, power bold

no no love, you so shallow

I been told to sell my soul

Jesus wrong, our freedom gone

that so old, liars sold

wise men know, fools will follow

We belong to a giving nation

We belong with the giving man

we belong to the freedom nation

we know love, oh yes we can

I gonna stop, and inventory my situation

my bad behavior clearly understood

I gonna drop, and pray for my relation

I'll be standing here

with what is right and is good

My Town

just around the corner you''ll find all the smiling faces

and not more than a few blocks off Main Street

are all the best wide open spaces, you'll ever see

and when TV talkers and nasty politicians

pit us against one another

we look away and get back to the real America

sisters and brothers, fathers and mothers

neighbors, cooperating and understanding

the good and the bad

that is what freedom gives

oh yeah its my town

when you're around, check it out now

oh yeah, live in my town

when you're around you gotta check it out now

now just the other day, four of us from different races

were talking about the real news in town, no grudges

smiles on our faces, living for today

while power hungry tv talkers and politicians

judge first by victim group or color

we judge only the content of their character

sisters and brothers, fathers and mothers

neighbors, cooperating and helping through

the good and the bad

that's what freedom gives

oh yeah its my town

come around, check it out now

oh yeah, live in my town

when you're around you gotta check it out now

TV talkers want a conversation

but we moved on with all respect

its not about the past

it's what we do today

that's what freedom gives

Boiling Water

boiling water, so long for lies

we know the lies will not survive

they no longer be true

boiling water, so hot in there

say gimme air, will justify

to late for a redo

so let it go

everyone knows the lie they know your name

say you were wrong

or take your place in the great hall of shame

boiling water, and narrative

makes your lie live
another word for twisting what is true

boiling water, and CCN

repeat again, your megaphone

for making big lies true

so let it go

everyone knows the lie they know your name

say you were wrong

or take your place in the great hall of shame

now listen people

we agree don’t we

they are the evil ones

they colluded, obstructed, and covered it all up

I did nothing wrong

I pray for them every day

The Greater Good

the word went out and people came

hoping this time things would change

but we know they rarely do

all the power in hired hands

never acting on our plans

they're not looking out for you

we want the greater good

this truth is well known and understood, oh yeah

the anger rose when they explained

now exposed their power game

the masses anger grew

our children they will rob

and cater to their growing mob

we now know what they knew

we want the greater good

this truth is well known and understood, oh yeah

Breaking That Chain

see learning girl breaking that chain

little wise man breaking that chain

never let your mind go back where it been

your fathers struggle never rule you again

worlds changed we no longer think that way

the few who do are only sheep gone astray

learn from the past a brighter future for you

not judging others let them do what they do

see learning girl breaking that chain

little wise man breaking that chain

never let your mind go back where it been

your mothers struggle never rule you again

worlds changed we no longer think that way

the few who do are only sheep gone astray

learn from the past a brighter future for you

not judging others let them do what they do

see learning girl breaking that chain

little wise man breaking that chain

never let my mind go back where it been

your fathers struggle never rule you again

those party politicians they deceive you

fake news while the truth is hidden in plain view

the feds take money and power while they run

promising the feast and giving you the crumbs

The Means

I was kicking back at the Kings Ranch

contemplating the future of my world

I would ponder this and consider that

and all the other important things in my universe

now those with narrow minds might say

all this power and fame has gone straight to my head

but keeping things simple Sam I am

I alone do not run this great land

do the ends justify the means

some things are better left unseen

are we really living all our dreams

as it seems, follow the money

we were heading out on safari

as we had nothing better to do

those dirty politicians kept calling my cell

asking for more money, I thought it better to buy a vote or two

now wary minds would throw caution to the wind

all this power and fame has gone straight to my head

but keeping things simple Sam I am

I alone do not run this great land

do they ends justify the means

some things are better left unseen

are we really living all our dreams

as it seems, follow the money

The Means, The Means

Tumbleweed

late one afternoon, with your newest companion

convinced you were right, you wore this cause like fashion

and like a tumbleweed, the way the wind blows who knows

you repeat the lie, don't make it so, oh no

your indoctrination, taught you righteous anger

throwing angry words, beside a complete stranger

and like a tumbleweed, crosses a rural highway

struck a post line fence, where your cause will stay

you drove in last night, with your lifelong champion

claiming second sight, you saw love passed on

and like a tumbleweed, the way the wind blows you know

now you give a hand, this tumbleweed may go

I hope so, I hope so, tumbleweed, go, go
