Love Me Back Lyrics

Yo yeah let's talk about it

I love this land of mine from the fields to the streets

But sometimes it feels like love don't reach back to me

Let's ride

I'm a Black man in this land of the brave

Got my flag flyin' high and I'm workin' every day

I got family who served laid it all on the line

For the red white and blue for the stars that still shine

I believe in the dream that we're all made free

But sometimes I feel like it don't apply to me

I see the open fields feel the wind in my soul

But there's a heavy kinda weight that just won't let me go

I'm a Black man who loves America that's a fact

I've been givin' my heart but it won't love me back

From the city streets to them old dirt roads

I'm just tryna find a place that I can call my own

I'm a Black man who loves America can't you see?

But it's hard when it feels like it don't love me

I put my hands to the plow I got mud on my track

I'm just hopin' one day that it'll love me back

They say "freedom's free" but there's a cost I've paid

Workin' twice as hard just to make the same wage

Got a smile on my face but my heart's feelin' cold

Cause the world got me wonderin' if I'm worth my own role

I pledge allegiance every morning back in school

But I learned real quick not every man gets the rules

I got pride in my people we've been strong all along

From the cotton fields to the factories we kept movin' on

I'm a Black man who loves America that's a fact

I've been givin' my heart but it won't love me back

From the city streets to them old dirt roads

I'm just tryna find a place that I can call my own

I'm a Black man who loves America can't you see?

But it's hard when it feels like it don't love me

I put my hands to the plow I got mud on my track

I'm just hopin' one day that it'll love me back

Beat slows down guitar strums low

I see the fireworks burst feel the pride in the crowd

But when the smoke clears they forget I'm around

I want the same freedom that my neighbor gets

Want to live without fear with no regrets

I love the anthem yeah I sing along too

But I need the words to ring out and be true

It's a hard kinda love but I can't let go

Got my roots in this soil and I want it to grow

I'm a Black man who loves America that's a fact

I've been givin' my heart but it won't love me back

From the city streets to them old dirt roads

I'm just tryna find a place that I can call my own

I'm a Black man who loves America can't you see?

But it's hard when it feels like it don't love me

I put my hands to the plow I got mud on my track

I'm just hopin' one day that it'll love me back

Yeah yeah I'm still ridin'

I'm here for the promise that this country once gave

The idea that freedom is the right for every name

From the farms to the cities from the North to the South

I wanna see a day where nobody's left out

I'm a Black man in America and I'm proud of my skin

But I'm lookin' for a country that'll let me all the way in

One day I know I'll see love comin' my way

Until then I keep workin' I keep prayin' I stay

Yeah I keep movin' keep singin' my track

Still hopin' that this land will finally love me back
