I was hoping to blend in
You know.....with the American dream
Instead of standing on the outside,
Just an echo of a scream
I've shuffled
I've yes'umed
And I've plowed
I've marched
I've fought
And I've bowed
I've knowledge to spare
Strength to share
Yet all America has been to me, is unfair
Shiny white faces.....spitting in my eye
Guaranteeing that for that American dream,
I don't even try
