In those mornings I went to school
A class clown, not feeling to cool
“I’m fine,” I lie, on phone I type
Pass the gates, look up, see stars and stripes

“We’re shining city on a hill,”
“Got rich through skill and the pockets we fill,”
I thought, if that’s all truly real
What’s with the reds like me they need to kill?

[Chorus]
They want my dreams to soar the sky
But to ground, my trail of tears go down
Climb gold stairs and claim throne up high
Push my kin to river and leave them to drown

Ever since, I have my reservation
More so, than when on reservation
“Exceptional, this great nation,”
For whom? The many or the fraction?

They call me and my kin skin red
But not just for my kin that I am mad
For all chocolate and vanilla that bled
Through soil our blood weaves their thread

[Chorus]

Want me to manifest destiny,
Ha! All when DC see me like flea
Speak for the poor, say things that be
They flinch, growl, cringe like McCarthy

“We’re shining city on a hill,”
“Got rich through skill and the pockets we fill,”
I thought, if that’s all truly real
What’s with the reds like me they need to kill?

[Chorus]
