Deep in your natures,
Of blood and pastures,
We keep you safer,
Excuse our middle brother,
He's often a bother.

Pro is the opposite of Con                       Kids of today are so much different
This fact can clearly be seen,                  Don't you know?
If progress means to move forward         Just ask them where they are from
Then what does congress mean?             And they tell you where you can go.  --Nipsey Russell
