[Verse 1]

I'm not a fucking third class citizen

I'm not a fucking third class citizen

I'm not a fucking third class citizen

Try me all you want

You will never have a grip on me


[Pre-Chorus]

Bully all you want

I'm building a foundation

I respect where I am

But also where I came from

I adapt my ways

But never my integrity

You think I am afraid

But I keep growing my dignity


[Chorus]

I'm not a fucking third class citizen

I'm not a fucking third class citizen

I'm not a fucking third class citizen

Try me all you want

You will never have a grip on me


[Verse 2]

Crafting from the bottom

I built a solid structure

You think you are entitled

To bomb it and destroy us

You can not pretend that respect equals authority

We're not the internee to justify your misery


[Pre-Chorus]

I'm not a fucking third class citizen

I'm not a fucking third class citizen

I'm not a fucking third class citizen

And neither are you

But you're asking me to kiss your feet


[Chorus]

I'M NOT A FUCKING THIRD CLASS CITIZEN

(breakdown)

I'M NOT A FUCKING THIRD CLASS CITIZEN

YOU CAN TRY ALL YOU WANT

BUT YOU'LL NEVER HAVE A GRIP ON ME


[Verse 3]

This is for all the ones who feel on hold

That the script is written

And you cannot even talk

In your despair

There's still a glimpse of hope

But they kick you when you're down

'Til you agree to the norm


[Pre-Chorus]

When communication becomes a myth

And common sense disappears

How can we ever get along

If you treat those you deem inferior

LIKE THIRD CLASS CITIZENS


[Chorus]

I'm not a fucking third class citizen

I'm not a fucking third class citizen

I'm not a fucking third class citizen

I'M NOT A FUCKING THIRD CLASS CITIZEN

YOU CAN TRY ALL YOU WANT

BUT YOU'LL NEVER HAVE A GRIP ON ME

I'M NOT A FUCKING THIRD CLASS CITIZEN

YOU CAN TRY ALL YOU WANT

BUT YOU'LL NEVER HAVE A GRIP ON ME


[Bridge]

Bully all you want

I'm building a foundation

I respect where I am

But also where I came from

I adapt my ways

But never my integrity

You think I am afraid

But I keep growing my dignity


[Chorus]

RESPECT MOTHERFUCKER

RESPECT MOTHERFUCKER

I'M NOT A FUCKING THIRD CLASS CITIZEN

YOU CAN TRY ALL YOU WANT

BUT YOU'LL NEVER HAVE A GRIP ON ME


[Outro]

Try me all you want

You will never have a grip on me

Try me all you want

You will never have a grip on me
