I used to think I hated this place Couldn't wait to tell the president straight to his face But lately I changed, nowadays I embrace it all Beautiful ideals and amazing flaws Got to care enough to give a testament 'Bout the deeply depressing mess we're in It's home so we better make the best of it I wanna make this country what it says it is Still dream in the vividest living colour No matter how many times my love been smothered Who's ever above us won't just let us suffer All of this struggling got to amount to something This is a letter to my countrymen Especially those my age and younger than We're up against an ugly trend Everybody's hustling don't nobody touch their friends No group singing and dancing No anthem nobody holds hands, and Instead they give a hand held And make you shoulder life's burden by your damn self One thing that can't be debated Power never changed on it's own you got to make it That's why community is so sacred That's the symbol that we make when we raise fists [Chorus: x2] Sooner or later We don't really like to talk about the race thing The whole grandparents used to own slaves thing Pat ourselves on the back in February Looking at pictures of Abe Lincoln and the great King But the real picture's much more embarrassing We're still not even close to really sharing things The situation of oppressed people Shows what we feel it means to be a human being What does it mean to be American? I think the struggle to free is our inheritance And if we say it how it really is We know our lily skin still give us privilege
