In 1994 its like they never seen a black kid raised before But i ain't got no attitude i just show gratitude For what my mum's been through And i ain't saying it was easy But now i'm older speaking freely Here's what i gotta say Here's what i gotta say Here's what i gotta say Here's what i gotta say There was time people's words would throw me back But now i find it funny that they only saw the black Threatened by my pigment common sense is what they lacked Not putting two and two together I gained my colour from my dad i think it's mad They cant let go of the past Races keep on fight how long will this last I find it sad In 1994 it's like they never seen a black kid raised before But i ain't got no attitude i just show gratitude For what my mum's been through And i ain't saying it was easy And now I'm older speaking freely Here's what i gotta say Here's what i gotta say Here's what i gotta say Here's what i gotta say They didn't understand this young black man Couldn't comprehend so they kept looking down On my mother like a stranger from another realm Seeking help from the school but they just shunned her out She had to fend for herself No advice with no one around Should tell her more that she makes me proud She's faced a lot and still standing her ground She's faced a lot still standing her ground In 1994 it's like they never seen a black kid raised before But i ain't got no attitude i just show gratitude For what my mum's been through And i ain't saying it was easy But now i'm older speaking freely Here's what i gotta say Here's what i gotta say Here's what i gotta say Here's what i gotta say In 1994
