This Is My Country

Do-do-do Do-do-do Some people think We don't have the right to say It's my country (my country) Before they give in They would rather fuss and fight Than say it's my country (my country) I've paid three hundred years or more Of slave robbing sweat And welts on my back This is my country (my country) Do-do-do Too many have died in protecting my pride For me to go second class (this is my country) We survived the hard blows and I want you to know That you must face us at last (this is my country) I know you will give consideration Shall we perish unjust or live equal as a nation? This is my country (my country) Do-do-do Do-do-do And I know you will give consideration Shall we perish unjust or live equal as a nation This is my country, yes it is But I don't feel too proud right now, y'all We need to get our house in order I'm seeing far too many children With no shoes on their feet And way too many babies ain't got enough food to eat And what's up with these people disrespecting our president Spending all their time saying he's not a legal resident You got some folk throwing a party but nobody invited me They're mixing up the Kool-Aid, y'all, passing it off as tea I hear a lot of people saying they wanna take their country back Well, back to the '50s and the '60s? That don't sound like progress to me (Will give consideration) and I know you will give consideration as a nation This is my country (my country) Do-do-do This is my country Oh yeah Do-do-do My country, oh yeah My country Do-do-do Oh yeah Do-do-do This is my country Uh huh, uh huh And don't get in my way Yeah
