I too am America
Location
I too am America
Even though my ancestors are from Africa
Even though I have a southern drawl
Even though I don’t shop often at the mall
I take my fate in my own hands
And lend my hands to bring disasters to an end
I am sometimes loud and misunderstood
You can see my flaws if you look under my hood
I can be kind and compassionate if I please
But also hateful and mean to take what I need
I am naïve and young with a wide horizon in front of me
Strong and powerful for everyone to see
I am all these things simply because
I too am America
