Is It Because I'm Black
The dark brown shades of my skin
Only add color to my tears
That splash against my hollow bones
That rocks my soul
Looking back over my false dreams that I once knew
Wondering why my dreams never came TrUe
Is it because I'm black? *Sick or Crazy?*
Somebody tell me what Can I Do
Something is holding me back
Is it because I'm black? *Sick
The dark brown shades of my skin
Only add color to my tears
That splash against my hollow bones
That rocks my soul
Looking back over my false dreams that I once knew
Wondering why my dreams never came TrUe
Is it because I'm black? *Sick or Crazy?*
Somebody tell me what Can I Do
Something is holding me back
Is it because I'm black? *Sick
In this world of no pity...
I was raised in the gettho of the city
Mama, she worked so hard
Too earn every penny
OH LORD!
Something is holding me back.
IS IT BECAUSE I AM BLACK?
Shhh
Only add color to my tears
That splash against my hollow bones
That rocks my soul
Looking back over my false dreams that I once knew
Wondering why my dreams never came TrUe
Is it because I'm black? *Sick or Crazy?*
Somebody tell me what Can I Do
Something is holding me back
Is it because I'm black? *Sick
The dark brown shades of my skin
Only add color to my tears
That splash against my hollow bones
That rocks my soul
Looking back over my false dreams that I once knew
Wondering why my dreams never came TrUe
Is it because I'm black? *Sick or Crazy?*
Somebody tell me what Can I Do
Something is holding me back
Is it because I'm black? *Sick
In this world of no pity...
I was raised in the gettho of the city
Mama, she worked so hard
Too earn every penny
OH LORD!
Something is holding me back.
IS IT BECAUSE I AM BLACK?
Shhh
