LYRICS HERE

Chorus

Know – You’re – Powerful

just – as you are

Every – move

That – you make

Can alter the start

Verse 1:

I am who I am

Let me be free —–

You are who you are

We are unique —-

I’m comfortable with who I am

You can’t change that —-

I’m perfect the way I am

My-perfect is my perfection!

Verse 2:

Malcom X, Like my ex

I wish they’d come back PLEASE

Breakfast for free

like the Black Panther Party

Racists are mean, this is me, this is me

Sound of an antiracist machine

(Random Antiracist machine noises)

JFK, MLK was all the CIA?

We’ve got to question these things today.

Verse 3:

I don’t even wanna talk to you

My power is my intelligence

My creativity

My hair is my crown

My power is my skin all around

I have power to show love to my family

Be who you are, be the dream

About the Book

Stamped

Written by Ibram X. Kendi and Jason Reynolds

A timely, crucial, and empowering exploration of racism–and antiracism–in America.

This is NOT a history book.
This is a book about the here and now.
A book to help us better understand why we are where we are.
A book about race.

The construct of race has always been used to gain and keep power, to create dynamics that separate and silence. This is a remarkable reimagining of Dr. Ibram X. Kendi’s Stamped from the Beginning, winner of a National Book Award. It reveals the history of racist ideas in America and inspires hope for an antiracist future.

Stamped takes you on a race journey from then to now, shows you why we feel how we feel, and why the poison of racism lingers. It also proves that while racist ideas have always been easy to fabricate and distribute, they can also be discredited.

Through a gripping, fast-paced, and energizing narrative, Jason Reynolds shines a light on the many insidious forms of racist ideas–and on ways readers can identify and stamp out racist thoughts in their daily lives.
