Or so they say, but I know what is true.
I was told once that I couldn't trust no white people,

I was told once that people of my skin would never be president,
or so they say, but I know what is true.
I told myself once that we would accomplish many things.
That is what I say, and I know that is true.
Or so they say, but I know what is true.
