lirik lagu means to prove – mario william vitale
i’ve been chased out of southern states
not by my merit or reason other than my race
i’ve been ridiculed in school
although i am smart with means to prove
i’ve been discriminated in stores
people see only color and nothing more
my ancestors did not come here on purpose
i’m the line of unwanted “property.”
my rights are stated but robbed of me
where am i in the anthem, beneath the surface?
i know a different reality than others
my life swept under the rug, unstated
but my potential contribution underestimated
i want not an apology, just a brother
we have no universal health care
our crime rates are higher than in iraq
officers shoot citizens in the back
not to mention nuclear scares
how can we hate our neighbors?
i’ve seen hate in the eyes of those who claim to be hated
but still we must display comp-ssion, will the stones of history be faded?
our jobs are not our true labors
i have more faith in the stars and stripes
we unite only through belief
ideology heals our grief
a revolution of the intellectual type
until then, i will strive for progress
reframe the future without distress
x-ray examination of my character
