Cory Henry - Something to Say

Black Man

We see the world is fair 'till we learn the role we play
Endangered ones, moving targets like we're prey
So tired of running man, this is dangerous
How am I the threat, and still the most unsafe
The war on drugs seems like a war against my race
Been fighting so long, feels like nothing's changed for us

I'm not a victim, I'm not a savage
I'm something different
From what you've been taught
This ain't a movie
I didn't choose this
From the birth to the rise till the end

I'm a black man (I'm a black man)
Don't be scared (don't be scared)
Don't bе scared (oh no)
I'm not scared (ah)
I'm a black man (I'm a black man)
Don't be scarеd (don't be scared)
Don't be scared (oh no)
I'm not scared, oh (oh)

Staying out of hate
Trying to make it home tonight (tryin' to make it home)
'Cause blue's the only color safe if you ain't white (safe)
Cameras on, hate is strong
A life is taken (life is taken, taken)

In the land of the free
But it don't apply to me (don't apply)
I've been in chains since slavery (woah)
After all these years (after all these years)
You still afraid of me (you still afraid of me)

I'm not a victim (I'm not a victim)
I'm not a savage (I'm not a savage)
I'm something different (ah)
From what you've been taught (from what you've been taught)
This ain't a movie (this ain't a movie)
I didn't choose this (I didn't choose this)
From the birth to the rise till the end

I'm a black man (I'm a black man)
Don't be scared (don't be scared of me)
Don't be scared (don't be scared)
I'm not scared ('cause I'm not scared of you)
I'm a black man (I'm a black man)
Don't be scared (oh)
Don't be scared (don't be scared)
'Cause I'm not scared

I'm a black man (I'm a black man)
Don't be scared (don't be scared of me)
Don't be scared
I'm not scared (oh)
I'm a black man (I'm a black man)
Don't be scared (don't be scared of me)
Don't be scared ('cause I'm not scared of you)
I'm not scared
