“You my opposer when I want FREEDOM, you my opposer when I want JUSTICE, you my opposer when I want EQUALITY, you won't even stand up for me in AMERICA for my religious beliefs, you want me to go somewhere & fight, and you won't even stand up for me at home. If I'm gonna die, I'll die right here fighting you. I don't care, put me in jail”
