My president is black and my heart is too

Did I live in pain is this true?

False hope and deceptive ways only keep my love in a grave,

Yes We Can is what they say

But is there unity for us today?

Racial hate and gang violence race the streets

How much longer do we live in defeat?

Defeated by this hatred and ignorance keeps us from prospering

Freedom bell rings and we are still tripping on this hate

Are we gonna let that be our fate?
