Red, White, and Bulletproof Lyrics

Yeah yeah it's a tough road sometimes

I love this land but it don't always love me back

Livin' in a place where freedom's under attack Let's go

I was born in the heart of the land of the free

Taught to wave that flag and sing "Sweet Liberty"

My granddaddy fought in wars put his life on the line

So I could stand tall and live under stars that shine

But I'm walkin' down the street hoodie over my head

And I feel every step like a target instead

Mama's prayin' every night that I make it back home

Cause we're livin' in a world where bullets start to roam

I love my country I bleed red white and blue

But sometimes it feels like I'm bulletproofin' just to make it through

I got my hands in the air still askin' if it's right

To have to fear the shadows every day and every night

I love my country but it's hard to stay strong

When the same streets I walk are where things go wrong

Gonna keep my head high keep pushin' for peace

Tryna live this American dream without restin' in pieces

I pledge allegiance but I wonder if it sees me

Or just a silhouette movin' where the danger be

I got dreams like everybody just tryin' to shine

But it's hard when the news shows another life gone by

I was taught to respect keep my manners in line

Say "Yes sir no sir" and not cross the line

But there's fear in my chest every time the blue lights flash

Cause sometimes a mistake could be my last breath of grass

I love my country I bleed red white and blue

But sometimes it feels like I'm bulletproofin' just to make it through

I got my hands in the air still askin' if it's right

To have to fear the shadows every day and every night

I love my country but it's hard to stay strong

When the same streets I walk are where things go wrong

Gonna keep my head high keep pushin' for peace

Tryna live this American dream without restin' in pieces

Guitar strum mellow beat

From the fields to the city my people built this ground

We planted seeds of freedom and it's time to come around

I see the kids in the park hear their laughter ring

And I want a world where they don't have to fear anything

We're all in this together but it don't always feel fair

When I see another brother's face on the news out there

But I won't lose hope and I won't lose love

Cause this land is still mine and I'll rise above

I love my country I bleed red white and blue

But sometimes it feels like I'm bulletproofin' just to make it through

I got my hands in the air still askin' if it's right

To have to fear the shadows every day and every night

I love my country but it's hard to stay strong

When the same streets I walk are where things go wrong

Gonna keep my head high keep pushin' for peace

Tryna live this American dream without restin' in pieces

Yeah yeah keep fightin' for change

One day I hope my kids won't have to live like me

Where they can walk any street and feel truly free

I still believe in this land even with the fight

And I'll keep singin' for justice every day and every night

So raise that flag but also raise your voice

Cause livin' free means we all get a choice

I love my country and I'll keep singin' loud

Cause this is my land too and I'm Black and I'm proud
