His mother, adeline's family

When i go out in my car, i don't think twice
C G
but if you're the wrong color skin
( i'm standing, crying )

And we got more people locked up than the rest of the world

Do we have to have to put in the ground

In the land of the free
Down at the border, they're gonna put up a wall
