Some people think we don't have the right
To say its my country (my country)
Before they give in they would rather fuss and fight
Than say it's my country (my country)
I've paid three hundred years or more
Of slave robbing sweat and welts on my back
This is my country (my country)
Too many have died in protecting my pride
For me to go second class (this is my country)
We survived the hard blows and I want you to know that you must face us at last (this is my country)
I know you will give consideration shall we perish unjust or live equal as a nation
This is my country (this is my country)
And I know you will give consideration
Shall we perish unjust or live equal as a nation
This is my country, yes it is
But I don't feel too proud right now y'all
We need to get our house in order
I'm seeing far too many children with no shoes on their feet
And way too many babies ain't got enough food to eat
And what's up with these people disrespecting our president spending all their time saying he's not a legal resident
You got some folk throwing a party but nobody invited me
They're mixing up the kool aid y'all
Passing it off as tea
I hear a lot of people saying they want to take their country back
Well back to the fifties and the sixties that don't sound like progress to me
(Your consideration) and I know you would give consideration as a nation
This is my country (my country)
This is my country
My country
My country
This is my country
And don't get in my way
