Tekst piosenki
* originally on Jimmy Carter: Man From Plains Soundtrack Chorus: [X2] I stand tall I raise my fists I pray all this pain might lift I don't want to die tonight But I can't live another day like this Verse One: The first time I ever broke the law Was just being born in a zone that's controlled by y'all A foreigner in my own damn home land Made me a sixteen year old, grown man I was aged by the pain that I saw Outside my front door was the front line of a war Shots gets fired I cry on the floor Underneath my bed tryin' to hide from it all I try to recall the first time that I saw Someone close to me die and my mind starts to draw A blank There's far to many of us die Genocide it's a genocide And our enemies will never be satisfied Until not even our memories survive It feels like they got the whole world on their side And the story of my people will never reach your eyes But understand one damn thing I can't run I don't care where Goliath got his strength from I'll rush your tank with not even a hand gun Only a rock from the land that I stand on Chorus [X2] Verse Two: That's the law that I break when I breathe The blood of my people races through me I will never back down, I can not flee Would rather die on my feet then to live on my knees Adorning the soldier uniform I was born in I did not chose the war I was drawn in If I been called to be a martyrs end I'm standing on Heaven's front door with a grin Saying please let me in Greet me as a friend I did not believe I would breathe free again Lord have mercy on my soul I was desperate and I had people to defend I'm the slave that drowned on the middle passage I'm chief Sitting Bull at the hand of a savage John Brown standing, both guns blasting Crying freedom, something must happen If I'm the only weapon that I have Then I'm standing with a bomb strapped to my abdomen Eyes full of water God please forgive me My people must one day live free Chorus [X2]
