Kings and Queens

(Charlie Chaplin)

“We have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose stepped us into misery and bloodshed. For those who can hear me, I say, do not despair.”

(Alyssa Johnson)

One day, I’ll be

King of the city

I can’t back down

That crown is mine

I used to be the kid cryin’ kill me now

In a world I thought too much pain was around

One day I changed

Cause support was around

My friends had my back

when my back was on the ground

and they still do

We turned me around

but it’s hard to stay up

when everyone’s pushin’ down

everyone’s a bully till they bully you down

and you get on the ground

thinkin, ain’t fun now

society’s self expression

feels a little like oppression

everyone has depression

everyone knows the lesson

instead of progress

we’re regressing as we lessen

get killed or get to steppin’

this our modern day lesson?

don’t know bout you

But I can’t stand this

I’m done

I’m changin’ the world

and I don’t feel bad for ya son

this ain’t the world that I know

so much envy and hate

Not much good to show

where’s the love that we know?

Chokin’ on poison possin’ as propaganda

this is a method that I’m not a fan of

When somebody’s wants trumps

Somebody’s needs

It ain’t right to push a people down on its knees

Gotta Keep our heads up

stay strong, stand up

Can’t let them keep us down

Gotta keep our heads up

stay strong, stand up

They can’t bully us now

Only because I believe we’re stronger

I know we can do this

C’mon let’s prove it

Let’s show them…

We, Kings and Queens of the city

in its glory and legacy

won’t let this city die

I was the one, everyone thought was strange

Just another kid playin’ his silly games

I used to be in class thinkin’ I was the clown

Till I found out, I was legacy bound

Ya see,

I thought I wasn’t nothin

then I turned out to be somethin

attitude decides your outcome

Leave it up to nothin

When life hands you nothin

Betta make some lemonade

Ain’t got a made life

change your life today

we as a people, can barely get by

stand on our tippy toes

Hope we don’t die

Cuz they crossed the line sayin we not good

not good enough to be

too bad to survive

Just because we different

doesn’t meant that we can’t win this

doesn’t mean that we are weaker

doesn’t mean that they are stronger

it just means we fight harder

hate has so many followers

but guess what

we got all the power!

Chokin’ on poison possin’ as propaganda

When somebody’s wants trumps

It ain’t right to push a people down on its knees

Gotta Keep our heads up

stay strong, stand up

Can’t let them keep us down

Gotta keep our heads up

stay strong, stand up

They can’t bully us now

Only because I believe we’re stronger

I know we can do this

C’mon let’s prove it

(Charlie Chaplin)

“Soldiers, don’t give yourself to bruits. Men who despise you, enslave you, who regiment your lives, tell you what to do or what to think or what to feel. Who drill you, tired you, treat you like kettle, use you as cannon fodder. You are not machines, you are not kettle, you are men. You have the love of humanity in your hearts. In the 17nth Chapter of saint Luke, it is written that the kingdom of god is within man. Not one man or a group of men,  but in all men. You, you the people have the power...and in the name of democracy, let us use that power, let us all unite!”

“More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life would be violent and all will be lost.”
