I'm gonna make it some how 
Just watch me now 
Can't hold me down 

Like Kunta Kinte, I'm an African man, I'm black and proud 
I'm golden brown, my nose is round! ? 
See where [bad word] from It's a beautiful [bad word] 
To make ends meet, but you wouldn't know 
Coz my people glow 
But don't be mistaken, What we're saying is not about skin, 
It's what's within that's the real thing 
So keep your head up no matter your background 
You're gonna break through 
'coz, If God's with you there's nothing you can't do! 
You're gonna make it! 

All my ghetto children, If you're listening, chase your dreams 
Even if it seems 'Too hard to achieve 
 [bad word] [bad word] your way, You need to rise above them all 
The Journeys may seem long but the prize is worth it all 
Don't be discouraged I'm a living witness Mountains can move 
And Faith can do what money can't do 
'Coz God is watching, from a distance You've caught His eye 
Just Walk with pride, Hold your head up high
