Its not my skin colour
Or because Im black
Its where I come from
They cant hack
Its way more personal than that
Not how I speak
Or the clothes I wear
The strength in my story
That they wont share
Not my background
Or the places Ive been
Its the truth I carry
They dont want seen
Its not my name
Or the way I stand
Its the power I hold
They cant understand
Not the struggle
Or the pain Ive known
Its the way I rise
That shakes their throne
Its not my skin colour
Or because Im black
Its where I come from
They cant hack
Its way more personal than that
Its not my accent
Or the way I talk
Its the fire in my soul
And the path I walk
Its not my culture
Or the songs I sing
Its the pride in my roots
That makes fear sting
Its not my history
Or the battles Ive fought
Its the strength of my future
They havent caught
Not my resilience
Or the dreams I embrace
Its the light in my eyes
They struggle to face
Its not my skin colour
Or because Im black
Its where I come from
They cant hack
Its not my skin colour
Or because Im black
Its where I come from
They cant hack
Its way more personal than even that
Its really because of where Im at
