Bonafides (Birthright) Lost Property!

Collective Hive Minds Think Collectively.. We The People That Sold Our Souls In Uniformity.. And Anything Sold Could Never Be Replaced, Under Moral Fabrics Of Return Policies, The Price (Cost) Often Depreciates.. Birthrights Never Alienate Cause Bastards Don’t Abdicate, King Me Uniquely Foreign To Any Acceptance Speech.. We Never Accepted Your Authority Gonna Give Me Free ‘By Any Means'(Necessary)… Everything Else Is However Party 2 Agency, Cointel-Pro Con Black Man Into His Own $lavery.. Rage Against This  Machine Systematically, Designed From Spiritual Anarchy.. Hail The Lesser ‘g’ 3rd Eye Seeing No Frequency.. Toil For Toilets, Wasteful Energy, Welfare State Never Working For What’s Owed To Me? 20 Years A Slave Ain’t No Shackles
Detain Me, Bad Habits Nailed Souls Down Onto Stakes Of Their Own Defeat… (Burn Babies – Baby Burn Me) Buddha Burn Me In Wake Of All These Sinful Inequities.. Born Out Of This Ashen Red Clay A Phoenix In Transparency… We Lit But We Ain’t Shyt Really!

Excellent viewing opportunities along the route
The twins will march with nearly 100 children who participate in after-school programs at the

The procession will include marching bands, classic cars, elected officials, community leaders and village residents.
