American Sun

I am the refugee
Poster child of tragedy
I am the future
Everything you need to be
I am the chosen
I am not your enemy
I am the one
I'm the American sun

I shed my skin
My old self wasted away
While I'm sittin' in the corner contemplating better days
I free my mind
In a million different ways
I'll no longer be a pawn in that power struggle game
I see the wolves
But they need to wait
While I still remain to flush out all these demons in my brain
That always drain
The lifeforce from veins
Cast me away push me to the limit wanna see me fall right off the summit

I was lost
Now I'm found
Build me up
Don't tear me down
So far gone
I'm the one
The American sun

I am the refugee
Poster child of tragedy
I am the future
Everything you need to be
I am the chosen
I am not your enemy
I am the one
I'm the American sun

The enemy more cunning
They see me outrunning the bottom feeder
Try'na devour my power
I shake 'em off, like the filth of my old life
Bask in that new light
I am my own religion
I believe in my own spirit, come on

I was lost
Now I'm found
Build me up
Don't tear me down
So far gone
I'm the one
The American sun

I am the refugee
Poster child of tragedy
I am the future
Everything you need to be
I am the chosen
I am not your enemy
I am the one
I'm the American sun

I am the refugee
Poster child of tragedy
I am the future
Everything you need to be
I am the chosen
I am not your enemy
I am the one
I'm the American sun

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
I'm the one
The American sun
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Oh, nah, American sun

Yo' this goes out to the future
This goes out to the peace
This goes out to the men and women out there doing their best to try an' strive an' try to survive and take care of their tribe
You hear me?
Look!

I am the refugee
Poster child of tragedy
I am the future
Everything you need to be
I am the chosen
I am not your enemy
I am the one
I'm the American sun

I am the refugee
Poster child of tragedy
I am the future
Everything you need to be
I am the chosen
I am not your enemy
I am the one
I'm the American sun
