Tell me what has become of my life
I have a wife and two children who love me
I'm a victim of police brutality, now (Mhhm)
I'm tired of bein' the victim of hate
Your rapin' me of my pride
Oh, for God's sake
I look to heaven to fulfill its prophecy...
Set me free

Tell me what has become of my rights
Am I invisible 'cause you ignore me?
Your proclamation promised me free liberty, now
I'm tired of bein' the victim of shame
They're throwin' me in a class with a bad name
I can't believe this is the land from which I came
You know I really do hate to say it
The government don't wanna see
But it Roosevelt was livin', he wouldn't let this be, no, no

Franklin Delano Roosevelt who was a former US president the 32nd US president who defended immigration to Ameerica placing everyone in the same place

«  All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us » means « Tout ce que je veux dire, c’est qu’ils ne se soucient pas vraiment de nous » . This clip was shot in the favelas districts in Brazil precisely to show the bumpy side that is not usually shown in Brazil .

Take my people with me

Together we are going

To a brand new home

Far across the river

Can you hear freedom calling?

Calling me to answer

Gonna keep on keepin′ on 

To a brand new home "as if to say that there is it's over. She also evokes the word freedom, which is a very strong word, knowing how they were treated and that they had no freedom.

Last name is Dom 

Cause you still believe in everyone 

When a baby first breathes 

When night sees sunrise 

When the whale hops the sea 

When man recognizes

Chorus

Freedom! 

Freedom! 

Freedom! 

Freedom! 

Freedom! 

That I gave my all, did my best

Brought someone some happiness

Left this world a little better just because

Chorus :

I was here

I was here, I lived, I loved, I was here

I did, I've done, everything that I wanted

And it was more than I thought it would be

I wanna leave my mark so everyone will know

We are the children (are the children)

We are the ones who'll make a brighter day so let's start giving (so let's start giving)

There's a choice we're making

We're saving our own lives

It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me

American oxygen

Every breath I breathe

Chasin' this American dream

We sweat for a nickel and a dime

Turn it into an empire

Breathe in, this feeling

American, American oxygen

Let's change the way we eat 

And let's change the way we treat each other 

You see, the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do 

What we gotta do, to survive

And still I see no changes, can't a brother get a little peace?
