1
I'm your nephew, yes it's true, oh, can't you hear me Uncle Sam
2
Can I sit upon your bended knee just like the other man?
3
Didn't I die in Vietnam and didn't I walk in Birmingham?
4
I'm your nephew, yes it's true, oh, can't you hear me Uncle Sam
5
Hear me, hear me
6
Didn't I sail the water against my every will?
7
Didn't I fetch that water when your bucket needed a refill?
8
Where was all the water when the fire was burning up the cross?
9
I'm your nephew too it's true, oh, hear me, Mr. Boss
10
I'm your nephew, yes it's true, oh, can't you hear me Uncle Sam

My books did not have covers on 'em still I did the best I can
17

23
I've lived the life a citizen's supposed to
24
So why I gotta be the illegitimate nephew
25
Remember me, Uncle Sam I fought your war
26
And went all out not knowing what I was fighting for
27
Sam why'd you let them rape my great grandmother?
28
Then go to the oak tree and hang her brother

When Abe was slaving there wasn't a fuss
30
So where was you when they was in my yard burning the cross?
31
Do you love me or what, Uncle Sam, what is it?
32
You wanna maim me and claim the grand wizard
33
I'll let that pass and marched for a just 'cause
34
Then got uncivilized rights with unenforced laws
35
Passed your curriculum got a diploma
36
And can't get a job 'cause my skin has color
37
You say things changed between now and then
