I came to this country

I heard it was the land of the free

The same country

Enslaved, my people came

They fought for our freedom

while chained and whipped

They fought for this country

built and nurtured it

And after everything

All we’ve ever asked for

is equality

Our only revenge is our resiliency

But they fear us

So they kill us

Then call us the thugs?

Try they must, we shall not give up

Our revenge is our resiliency
