funkadelic grassroots... one love

wish i was born in south africa or north korea, but i was born in chicago...
wish i was a genius and talented in the mind, but im not one to think...
wish i was a loner or a leader, but i am always behind someone to follow...
wish i was a nigga or a honky, but they look at me and see a yellow chink...
wish i was a tree hugger or a city thug, but im just another suburban kid...
wish i was a survivor or a millionaire, but i hang out in the middle...
wish i was pure good or black evil, but in shades of grey is how i live...
wish i was a man of strength or cunning, but all i do falls so brittle...

-wish i was-
