"When tolerance
Becomes a one-way street
It leads to cultural suicide"
Land of the free
Church on one block
Mosque on the next
You preach what you want
Long as respect connects
But some twist it
One book, one voice
No gospel on corners
'Cause they ain't got a choice
I'm talkin' law, not faith
Let's be precise
A state where you blink
And it cost your life
Where a cross on your neck
Could cost you breath
Where speech is a sin
If it cuts too fresh
In my hood? Imam, rabbi
Preacher shake hands
Bodega plays Quran
Next door's a worship band
That's tolerance
Not the fake kind
I ain't gotta pray
Like you to be divine
Tolerance that's our pride
But it cuts both ways or it won't survive
If you silence others to hold your space
That ain't peace that's masked hate
Tolerance don't twist the name
It ain't submission, it ain't your game
Freedom means I can say what's true
Even if that truth ain't good for you
They say"all are welcome"
But the door don't swing
Try build a church
In Riyadh can't do a thing
Say"I left Islam"?
Ghosted overnight
Not by people
By systems that kill the light
Here in DC
We argue loud that's the fight
Burn a flag
Speak up that's your right
But don't bring laws
That chain my throat
Or crown your faith
While the rest just choke
We bled for that freedom, c
Arved it in our skin
Not for one-way
Rules to sneak back in
If your peace demands
I go mute then that peace?
That peace is sin
Tolerance that's our pride
But it cuts both ways or it won't survive
If you silence others to hold your space
That ain't peace that's masked hate
Tolerance — don't twist the name
It ain't submission, it ain't your game
Freedom means I can say what's true
Even if that truth ain't good for you
Freedom ain't perfect
But it lets you breathe
Just don't tell me I gotta kneel
To prove I believe
