I stand here a black man I have no history

I was brought up in East Chicago And I grew up on the streets

The brand upon my shoulder Well it reminds You who You are

And it all comes true Yes it all comes true

Like a wheel inside a wheel It turns on You

And You think, What have I done? What can I do?

It all comes true
