[Verse 1] I was born in a world of great divide We all live together, but we're not all on the same side When I was a child, I didn't see all the lines But that was until reality opened up my eyes I saw people that look like me Pray for equality While others believe in supremacy, I saw my people in chains mentally And others I saw walking free Every child needs to know who they're born to be Am I born for greatness? Am I born to be free? And every day when I wake up I hear bondage coming for me Lies of society Tear me down and take away my liberties But what can I say? We've been this way for centuries [Chorus] So I guess this is who I am, it's where I came from These are my people, this is my struggle I guess this is who I am, it's where I came from These are my people, this is my struggle [Verse 2] There are times when I wish I could run away But I can't run or hide from my reality I'm grown and I don't own a thing, not a dime to my name Or anything to leave for my kids to claim It's a shame 'Cause I wonder if they'll live better lives than me Or will they grow up listening to society? Someday my life will come to an end I don't know how and I don't know when But one thing I do know is that I'm tired of waiting for a change to come When I still got enough life in me to march towards freedom I still got enough fight in me to fight for our children Lift your head, child, there's no need to hide We're gonna overcome with dignity and pride [Chorus] Because this is who we are, it's where you came from These are your people, this is our struggle I'm telling you this is who you are, child, it's where you came from These are your people, this is our struggle [Outro] C'mon, everybody, we're on our way to victory We're gonna march toward our destiny until we live in liberty We'll rise above poverty and change the whole society We're gonna get up in the morning and make our dreams reality
