Who am I? Tell me who am I?
I'm a piece of him and her
Who am I? Tell me who am I?
I'm a piece of you and me
Who am I? Tell me who am I?
I'm a piece of him and her
Who am I? Tell me who am I?
I'm a piece of you and me
Who am I?
Hate yourself before hating me
Hate yourself before hating me
Don't hate on this hybrid me
Do I scare you with my one million and one possibilities?
I'm like a rainbow with so many colors
More than you can dissect in each other
Man, I'm confused by your withdrawal
Racist words, your hate, most of all
Because if I recall, you came and searched for me
Bringing religions and new technology
To a land that I once called free
You used all them Negroes to build your dream
And your power went so far to your head
You decided to taste them and see
But did you realize one day there might ever be a me?
Who am I? Tell me who am I?
I'm a piece of him and her
Who am I? Tell me who am I?
I'm a piece of you and me
Who am I? Tell me who am I?
I'm a piece of him and her
Who am I? Tell me who am I?
I'm a piece of you and me
Who am I?
Man, I'm confused by your withdrawal
Racist words and your hate, most of all
Centuries of oppression, you fought to be free
You fought for what we call equality
The right to vote, to shop, to live free
You fought for the basic needs
And yet one day, even the white man found you so pretty
That you and he made love, but what of those babies?
I am the living proof of your dream
Of the world that is to you free
You hated being a slave but now I'm being hunted?
So is the color of my skin that disgusting
That I'm worth less than your tie-dyed torn up jeans?
Hate yourself before hating me
Hate yourself before hating me
So call me half-caste, black, white
Caramel-coated hybrid of the night
I really don't care 'cause your slander won't kill me
I finally figured it out, you can't live peacefully
You need to hate, you need to fight
And your own blood is good enough to dislike
In Africa, you kill each other using tribes as an excuse
In Europe and the Americas, you destroy each
Other with fool's gold and economic tools
I guess I should feel lucky
I can glide, fly, jump to any side
'Cause I am all of you and you are all in me
So the next time you wanna hate, spit, try to destroy what I stand for
Know that you're taking yourself down with me
Hate yourself before hating me
Hate yourself before hating me
Who am I? Tell me who am I?
I'm a piece of him and her
Who am I? Tell me who am I?
I'm a piece of you and me
Who am I? Tell me who am I?
I'm a piece of him and her
Who am I? Tell me who am I?
I'm a piece of you and me
Who am I? Tell me who am I?
I'm a piece of him and her
Who am I? Tell me who am I?
I'm a piece of you and me
Who am I? Tell me who am I?
I'm a piece of him and her
Who am I? Tell me who am I?
I'm a piece of you and me
