How can I achieve
How will I succeed
How will I survive
How can I believe
That in this world I will
ever get ahead
When the roads paved with
people like you
With thick heads
They can see me coming
Because I dare not disguise
I have nothing to be afraid
of
They’re afraid of their own
lies
You created what you fear
You kept us down for too
long
Now we wish to rise
So you put your hoods on
Why do you hide from your
own creation
Where the children of your
America, whether Jamaican or Haitian
Where not Negroes,
Hispanics, or any minority
Where American just like you
So let me peruse my freedom
and glory
