Why is it always harder than the others? (Tell me)
Is it our fault? Oh, oh, ah (tell me)
Why would my life be so different from others? (Tell me)
Is it our fault? (Tell me)
Why did my mother tell me "You're stronger than the others"? (Tell me)
And to be supportive of each other, oh, oh, ah (tell me)
Give me the strength to be able to change things a bit (tell me)
So that those before us would be proud of us

You will love me like this (like this)
With my skin color (with my skin color)
I will fight (fight)
For those who come after us, oh
If God is with me ('with me)
To show them what we're worth (show them what we're worth)
Something in us, something in us
Something new

If I tell you that a detail can change the future of kids (tell me)
Would you change that for us? Eh (tell me)
If the justice you talk about is made for human rights (tell me)
Tell me what that makes us (tell me)
If I return blows for blows, without discerning true from false (tell me)
Would you feel like us? Eh (tell me)
I'm still learning every day but I'd like to change things (tell me)
So that those before us would be proud of us

You will love me like this (like this)
With my skin color (with my skin color)
I will fight (fight)
For those who come after us, oh
If God is with me ('with me)
To show them what we're worth (show them what we're worth)
Something in us, something in us
Something new

And until it ends
We will use our bodies so that our peace lasts longer than an instant
If I have the pain and color of injustice
We will fight for others so they have nothing more to prove

You will love me like this (like this)
With my skin color (with my skin color)
I will fight (fight)
For those who come after us, oh
If God is with me ('with me)
To show them what we're worth (show them what we're worth)
Something in us, something in us
Something new

You will love me like this (like this)
With my skin color (with my skin color)
I will fight (fight)
For those who come after us, oh
If God is with me ('with me)
To show them what we're worth (show them what we're worth)
Something in us, something in us
Something new

You will love me like this (like this)
With my skin color (with my skin color)
I will fight (fight)
For those who come after us, oh
If God is with me ('with me)
To show them what we're worth (show them what we're worth)
Something in us, something in us
Something new

Oh, oh, ah
