DNA is my destiny

Meritocracy is mythology

DNA is my destiny

And adversity is my currency

DNA is my destiny

Evolution ordained entropy

DNA is my destiny

There's no place for me

From sea to shining sea

I will bleed

Blood red, skin black

Bruised and battered from the whips they crack

And lily-white lies

Blind us from the chalk lines

Manifest destiny, humanized equity

Follow the lines on my palm

You'll find a psalm that's solemn

The stars align, they're so divine

Yet they define my confines

I drew the blood that sliced the deck

That chopped my neck and hung me dead

I won't tempt fate

They've found a place just for me

From sea to shining sea

I will bleed

Blood red, skin black

Bruised and battered from the whips they crack

And lily-white lies

Blind us from the chalk lines

Manifest destiny, humanized equity

Serendipity sowed this seed for me

A petri dish determinance robs me of my relevance

It's my destiny

DNA, destiny

Destiny's come for me

DNA, destiny

Destiny's come for me

DNA, destiny

Destiny's come for me

DNA, destiny

Destiny's come for me

DNA, destiny

Destiny's come for me

Come for me

I will take control

Beat my chest, grab a gun

Hurt somebody just for fun

Smoke some dope and kill some time

All on Uncle Sammy's dime

You'll say that it's my DNA

You'll say that it's my destiny

It's in this country's DNA

The truth is you invented me
