Another Number

Part of me is fed up

And the other part is tired

See I’ve been kicked down for far too long

I’m beginning to feel uninspired

Yes I’ve seen my people struggle

And I’ve seen my people fight

But we haven’t yet won the battle

That’s why I’m standing here (Uh huh)

I don’t want to be another number

I don’t want to be another case

I don’t want to be another number

I don’t want to be another case

The tv keeps on feeding me lies

About how things are all going to work out

But there’s a new day trust me will rise

And it’s going to start right here right now

See I just want to celebrate you

And not see my people shot

And stop being judged by the color of our skin

Promise I’m not asking for a lot

I don’t want to be another number

I don’t want to be another case

I don’t want to be another number

I don’t want to be another case

What is it about me that makes me a target

Is it my skin, my hair, the way I dress

At the end of the day

We just want to be loved, respected

I want life

Justice

And To be free

I don’t want to be another number

I don’t want to be another case

I don’t want to be another number

I don’t want to be another case
