Divinity by Protocol Lyrics

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
