I’m not different from you
I wish this world was a better place
I wish there was compasion
I’m walking carefully tonight
I’m aware of the situation
I like to think they don’t hate me,
Don’t judge my complexion
But one day mama clearly said:
“This is the world that we have to change”.
I was beaten up by the police guards
I was beaten up and they would not stop
But I wonder why they were?
When I was trying to hide, they’d follow me
‘Cause they think I’m bad

So I wonder why they were?
‘Cause their skin is different from me
No matter black or white,
I’m not different from you
I’m not different from you
I’m just equal to you
I’m not different from you
I’m the same, I’m the same, I’m the same as you
I’m not different from you
I’m just equal to you
I’m not different from you
I’m the same, I’m the same, I’m the same
I hear their voice talking from behind
Like I’m a strange creature
I’m sharing my weakness with you
Now I can’t get over this
No, I just can’t get over this, ooh
I was beaten up by the police guards
I was beaten up and they would not stop

I’m not different from you
I’m just equal to you
I’m not different from you
I’m the same, I’m the same, I’m the same as you
I’m not different from you
I’m just equal to you
I’m not different from you
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, yeah yeah yeah, oh oh mmh
Oh, I was sad for you
Oh, in the darkest times
Oh, I was sad for you
Oh, always in my prays
Oh, I was sad for you
Oh, in the darkest times
