This is the only place I have ever known

I am an American

With skin the color of dark coffee

I still belong here

I have worked my thirty years and

Paid my taxes

Tried to live a free and simple life

 It’s been hard living among the others

Who would hate me and want to take my life

All I want is to be left alone to do my thing

Make some friends and have some fun is so important

While the world is all so messed up

I don’t need anyone else interfering

With what I know is right

So go about your own business from now on

Spent your time doing for yourself and family

If you spent all your time doing that

You would have no time to be bothering me.
