VERSE
You’ve got rules
Telling me what to do
But is there anybody checkin’ up on you
Well, I’m no fool
I do what I’ve got to do
Many have died for a freedom of mind, for the freedom of truth
Could you be guilty for being a little bit different from the rest
Come on, come on, come on now people
Put yourself to the test

CHORUS
Every minority has a priority
We want to be equally free
Love me or hate me, discriminate me
But you can’t change the way I feel
Who is the one to judge telling me who to love, telling me how to live, telling me what life is
Oh, how you’re mistreating me

VERSE
What you say
Is that I’m not supposed to be
Walking this earth, that I don’t deserve
To live a free life
Well, I know I’ve got so much to give to you
I feel no shame, despite your blame cause my love is real
Could you be guilty for being a little bit different from the rest
Come on, come on, come on now people
Put yourself to the test

CHORUS
Every minority has a priority
We want to be equally free
Love me or hate me, discriminate me
But you can’t change the way I feel
Who is the one to judge telling me who to love, telling me how to live, telling me what life is
Oh, how you’re mistreating me

BREAK
We need a black sheep to distract us from reality
Point your finger at me
I bet that makes it easy
We need to realize where the true trouble lies
It ain’t who you are
But the size of your mind
Can you see with your heart
And look past preconceptions
Can you see my soul
Past the labeling section
This is who I am
I’m gonna stand up proud
Won’t let no one bring me down
