I'm an American related to all colors of brethren Priests and Pastors and Prophets and Reverends Divided we fall united we stand together man In this cultural melting pot there's nothing better than This land of the free and the home of the brave Populated by ancestors of immigrants and slaves who met early graves So we could see brighter days and we could proudly Praise and raise the stars and stripes as Americans Hate me Blame me You can't shame me Come and stand with me I'm American I'm an American born in these states united Where racial discrimination keeps us so divided But we've got free speech so I won't be quiet We got a lot of problems here man I won't deny it But ain't another place that I'd rather be Than in this land of great opportunity Where we can be anything that we wanna be So until the day I D-I-E, I stand tall as an American
