In '94
In 1994 its like they never seen a black kid raised before
But I ain't got no attitude I just show gratitude
For what my mum's been through
And I ain't saying it was easy
But now i'm older speaking freely
Here's what I've got to say
Here's what I've got to say
Here's what I've got to say
Here's what I've got to say
There was a time people's words would throw me back
But now I find it funny that they only saw the black
Threatened by my pigment common sense is what they lacked
Not putting two and two together
Gained my colour from my dad i think it's mad
They cant let go of the past
Races keep on fighting how long will this last ain't it sad
I find it sad
(Yeah, yeah)
In 1994 it's like they never seen a black kid raised before
But I ain't got no attitude I just show gratitude
For what my mum's been through
And I ain't saying it was easy
And now I'm older speaking freely
They didn't understand this young black man
Couldn't comprehend so they kept looking down
On my mother like a stranger from another realm
Seeking help from the school but they just shunned her out
She had to fend for herself
No advice with no one around
Should tell her more that she makes me proud
She's faced a lot and still standing her ground
She's faced a lot and still standing her ground
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
In 1994 it's like they never seen a black kid raised before
But I ain't got no attitude I just show gratitude
For what my mum's been through
And I ain't saying it was easy
But now I'm older speaking freely
Here's what I've got to say
Here's what I've got to say
Here's what I've got to say
Here's what I've got to say
