Respect the Threat

Meiah Yeye 2011 (Brick, New Jersey)



Why should I try and lie about how I feel about this country
We need to stand for our land
We need to lead for our country to be guaranteed
We will fight for the right
I should be able to care and not be scared
We can't die if we try
We can respect this project
We can’t drag down our flag
