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
