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 chains around the playground were the chains around My heart
Em
The brand upon my shoulder Well it reminds You who You are

And it all comes true Yes it all comes true
D Em
Like a wheel inside a wheel It turns on You

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

What You believe about Yourself
Em
It all comes true
