Lord, i have burdens, struggles
Am i special? (special, special)
Oh lord, you gave me my black skin
These people want me to change
I was born this way, i don’t want light burdens
But stronger shoulders (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Police watch me, hate me
They think that i am a threat (oh-oh, yeah, ayy)
I’m tired, tired, tired of thinkin’, “is this my last breath?” (oh-oh, ooh-ooh)
Can i adress the congregation? (yeah)
We been chained, we been slaved
We been down, way too long
Can i adress thе congregation?
We been chained, wе been slaved
We been down, way too long
Lord (lord), i have burdens, struggles (ooh-ooh)
Am i special? (ooh-ooh, special, special)
My own people hate each other
This is not good (this is not good)
Shootings, i’m dodgin’ bullets
’til i make it out the hood (don’t get hit, yeah)
I can’t go in no store, it hurts to know
I’m bein’ followed (watchin’, watchin’)
I’m a poor man tryna make ends meet
Don’t know if i’ll see tomorrow
Can i adress the congregation? (yeah)
We been chained, we been slaved
We been down, way too long
Can i adress the congregation?
We been chained, we been slaved
We been down, way too long
Lord (lord), i have burdens, struggles (ooh-ooh)
Am i special? (ooh-ooh, special, special)
Lord (lord), i have burdens, struggles (ooh-ooh)
Am i special? (ooh-ooh, special, special)
