There's a wall, a wall of pride
Ten feet tall, twenty feet wide
There's a wall, a wall of pride
I'm my father's son
Down to the bone
Generations deep
I'm Mississippi grown.
There's a wall, a wall of pride
Like my people before me
I'm proud of what I am
They built the wall of pride
With the work of honest hands.
It's not the money
That makes a man
It's not a mystery
To understand.
There's a wall, wall of pride
Ten feet tall, twenty feet wide
There's a wall, wall of pride.

I say what I mean
I mean what I say
Got to keep on building
A little every day.
There's a wall, wall of pride
I'm my father's son
Down to the bone
Generations deep
I'm Mississippi grown.
It's not the money
That makes a man
It's not a mystery
To understand.
There's a wall, wall of pride
Ten feet tall, twenty feet wide
There's a wall, a wall of pride
Ten feet tall, twenty feet wide
There's a wall, wall of pride
Ten feet tall, twenty feet wide
There's a wall, a wall of pride
There's a wall, a wall of pride
There's a wall, a wall of pride
