Sammie - Dear America lyrics

I'mma put this hoodie on, don't shoot me
No, don't shoot me
They say a change goin' come
I guess I'll wait
Cause all I see is bang bang shoot 'em up
And it's the cops that's bangin'
And they killin' us
Though in God we trust, yeah
I'm just a young black man
Tryna' to find my way

But they made it so hard for us
Yeah it's hard, but it's the land of the free
Swear they made it so hard for us
But Obama looks just like me

What's so wrong with my skin, that I'm in?
That I'm in
Nothing's wrong with my skin, that I'm in
That I'm in

Dear America (Why, why, why)
Dear America (Why, why, why) dear America

Now I might ride nice cars
But don't shoot me please, don't shoot me
I mean, I work all day, I'm just like you
And I may rock chains, but don't slave me
No, don't slave me you ain't better than me
I ain't better than you

But they made it so hard for us
Yeah it's hard, but it's the land of the free
Swear they made it so hard for us
But Obama looks just like me

But what's so wrong with my skin
That I'm in? That I'm in
Nothing's wrong with my skin, that I'm in
That I'm in

Oh, dear America (Why, why, why) oh
Dear America (Why, why, why) oh yeah
Dear America

So to my future child, I'mma make you proud
Don't hold your head down
Unless you're praying
And when you say Amen, look up to the sky
Hold your head up high, know that you amazing
I need you to be strong, you're never alone
Just keep marching on, please
Hear what I'm saying
Be your shining light, it's goin' be alright
Sometimes you have to fight
Still you amazing

Oh, Dear America (Why, why, why) oh
Dear America (Why, why, why) oh, yeah
Dear America (Why, why, why) oh
Dear America (Why, why, why) oh dear America
(Why, why, why) oh, don't shoot me
Dear America
(Why, why, why) oh, I'm just like you
Don't shoot me, no (Why, why, why) no no no
Dear America (Why, why, why) no, yeah

Listen
(Why, why, why) I'mma put this hoodie on
Don't shoot me
(Why, why, why) And I may rock chains
But don't slave me
Dear America (Why, why, why, Why, why, why)
Oh, Dear America
