To think my welcome has worn out In the only place I have called home: The police told me that I must go about From the one city in which I had grown.
Listen here, I was born here, Raised not too far down the street; Liberty City in my heart, so it’s no fear Pumping blood of triumph, never defeat; My eyes filled with hope and pride, When I noticed heritage and wealth; This city is home beyond any to reside As I fight for liberty everywhere else.

I was born a few years back at Northshore, To two newlyweds struggling on a daily basis; Both were striving in the city to provide more For the children brought in a world so racist; Now, the police always harassed me as a kid But I am a veteran now and educated too And I spend a vacation here then get arrested, The police tried Jim Crow without rights to view.

I don’t drink, I don’t get high, So I think It had to be what I drive.
I don’t traffic, I don’t solicit, So very tragic, Police abhor me for a visit.
Stupid how things never changed, Even I did for my son and nation, But the police always know my name, No matter what goo I do I am a situation.
