This Is My Country

[Intro]

Doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo

[Verse 1]

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)

[Refrain]

Doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo

[Verse 2]

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)

[Refrain]

Doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo

[Bridge]

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

(Give consolation)

And I know you will give consideration, as a nation

This is my country (My country)

[Outro]

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
