Lyrics
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-driving, 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 cla** (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, pa**ing 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 (Give consolation) 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
