"This Is My Country" by Impressions

               
        Some people think we dont have the right
        To say its my country
        Before they give in, theyd rather fuss and fight
        Than say its my country
        Ive paid three hundred years or more
        Of slave driving, sweat, and welts on my back
        This is my country
               
        Too many have died in protecting my pride
        For me to go second class
        Weve survived a hard blow and I want you to know
        That you must face us at last
        And I know you will give consideration
        Shall we perish unjust or live equal as a nation
        This is my country
               
        And I know you will give consideration
        Shall we perish unjust or live equal as a nation
        This is my country
