lyrics

so I was here first , I've a right to land
so I know what's right and what wrong
but I see a few things that are holding us back
and will make the country not grow

so who are those ones with tint in their skin
they claim to be natives of land
there small and there weak and there lesser than I
be gone so my country can grow

so who are those ones, who want rights and a law
to marry the one that they choose
to hell with their love its a crime to the world
Oh I'm sure that the country will grow

so who are those ones, who think different from us
they say they don't know Jesus Christ
best keep them all out for the crimes of their ways
oh I'm sure that the country will grow

so who are these men that bang on my door
and they say that I Don't below
but nothing remains but bigotry law
oh where did my country it go?
