This Is My Country

(专辑： Carry Me Home - 2022)

Doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo

Some people think we don't have the right
To say it's my country (My country)
Before they give in, they'd 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)

Doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo

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)

Doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo

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, huh-huh, 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, ha ha
Where? Back to the '50s and '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)

Doo-doo-doo
This is my country, oh yeah
Doo-doo-doo
My country, y'all, my country, yes, it is
Doo-doo-doo
Oh yeah
Doo-doo-doo
This is my country, uh-huh, uh-huh
And don't get in my way
Yeah
