Black People
Yeah well you know a Stonebwoy again you know
I got to say this to the people of the world you know
Sometimes we have to take a look
At things from a different perspective
Seen
Yeah oh
What about some low cut?
What about some afro?
What about some skirt to cover up the ass though
Better show the reality behind the scenes
What about some dreadlock
What about some Rasta
What about believing in yourself and not a poster
Don't you forget the struggle of race is real
I'm losing myself as a black man inna this world
I'm losing my identity inna this yah society
I'm losing myself as a black man inna this world
I'm losing my identity
Black man can't you see
That they don't want you
To know that you are
The best of all amongst us all
Black people
Hear me now alright
So when it is black it is bad
But when it is white it is good
Oh what a mindset
And I hurt me so bad to realise
That a lot of black people
Hate themself as a people
They feel so weak and feeble
Which is not supposed to be that way
I'm losing myself as a black man inna this world
I'm losing identity inna this yah society
I'm losing myself as a black man inna this world
I'm losing identity
Black man can't you see
That they don't want you
To know that you are
The best of all amongst us all
Black people
Hear me now
See me a wonder
Why Africa can't unite
We sell out the visionary leaders overnight
Sixty billion for all a the bauxite
Looks like black people nuh have no foresight
Cobalt and timber, diamond and tanzanite
For all of that the bombs a ignite
You nuh see say a genocide
Physical and mental genocide
Yeah
I'm losing myself as a black man inna this world
I'm losing my identity inna this yah society
I'm losing myself as a black man inna this world
I'm losing my identity
Black man can't you see
I'm losing myself as a black man inna this world
I'm losing my identity inna this yah society
I'm losing myself as a black man inna this world
I'm losing my identity
Black man can't you see
They don't want you
To know that you are
The best of all amongst us all created
They don't want you
To know that you are
The best of all amongst us all created
Black man yeah
I got to say this to the people of the world you know
Sometimes we have to take a look
At things from a different perspective
Seen
Yeah oh

What about some dreadlock
