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!

“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.”
