I Resist (Radio Edit)

Why am I so different from you

Why can’t I be just like you

Why do I have to speak so loud

And if I do that threatens you

Look at you spreading those lies

Look at you clenching your fist

Look at you laughing at me

Rejoicing over my blood

I resist

I persist

God I exist

Look at what you’ve done to me

Look at what I’ve done to myself

So I can be a part of this

And where I came from I resist

Look at me trying to open my eyes

Look at me trying to lengthen my nose

Wanted a fairer skin

Since I was a proud father’s son

I am the sun

I am your son

Hell I exist

I can be a man

I can be heartbroken

I can lead

I can be dangerous

I won’t be harmless

I won’t be “weak”

I won’t back down

Cos I’m not alone

I resist

I persist

God I exist
