Coming to Americadragging me to
Coming to America
dragging me to terror.
Young, Black, Princess,
so far from the motherland,
the white man had the upperhand.
Save me, raise me, release me,
Please
leave me with the dignity to cross these seas
to reclaim my glory
and to walk again amongst out native trees.
I hold my head high with pride
so all can see,
I am a Young, Black, Princess
who was meant to be free.
