My Press
My press
Is like your press
But my press
Is blessed
I'll press till I can't press no more
Press for the impassioned stress of
A thousand addressed,
Men, women, children
Just hold your breath
Tick... tick ...ahhhh
Now Press for the million deaths
Of hungry oppressed
Get up get dressed
My press, stresses the rest
To be the best
Above the rest
To pass the test
Of achievement
Trials of fire
In the night,
Burning my sleeves
Oh yes indeed
Pressed to lead;
The masses,
Unprecedented
People distress
Of the regression
For diesel,
Oil that Is
Fuels the fires
Of war
Why not conduct the
Business of peace
Like Pax romana
To break the chains of dest-itution
Words passionate desire
The avid fire of pen and paper
Generations now and before
Laugh and abhor
The future
A new press
Writing these rhymes
Before my time
Picking up dimes
To scratch out
A liv-ing
Because day to day
It's like every day
Nothing left
But to press harder
Golden retriever
Chasing the thoughts
Of those long lost
This is for
The ones we left
In conflict
Internal battle like
Civil warin'
Inside my mind
Losin my mind
But still not blind
To the suffering
Of the people
Go on
Stop the genocide
Germany, Rwanda, Darfur
Why not one love?
Great leaders
Do great things
To Remake things
Make love not hate
Make peace not war
Now Forevermore
Press on
Something eternal
My daily journal
Presented por la gente
But gently
Not to let
My presses be stopped
By the depress
Of repression,
But my press
Can't stop,
Won't stop
'Till I rot dead
And buried
But
When I'm gone
My press'll stay strong
Because
My press
Is like your press
But my press
Is blessed
