To make it clear, I didn't ask to be here
I was kidnapped from my mother's hands and motherland
Traveled cross Atlantic, I was once a king
Now I'm a slave to another man
I seen them kill my brothers man
Was once 3/5 of someone who's white
That's 60%, but my land provided you life
Was forced to slave for you in fields and pick cotton
Blacks were reduced to property for white profit
400 years of suffering and oppression dog
I'm in danger when there's Caucasian men involved
Slavery was abolished, but it never really ended dog
Implementing all these government laws to keep us lost

I'm a good husband to my wife, I find a way
To make sure that's she's happy and she feels loved
A good dad to my kids, I instill love
Plus on top of that I'm honest, reliable, successful
I pour into others when this life gets too stressful
I got an MBA, I went to an Ivy League
All through the grace of God, and beyond my wildest dreams
But today I'm walking down the street feeling destined
I see a white man and he walks in my direction
We're looking eye to eye and I nod cause I respect him
Then he gives a snarl, he don't approve of my complexion
Grabs at his waist, hatred all over his face
Wields a gun and tells me he's the superior race
