Body and Soul/Afraid.
Flunking school
Come home late
Disappointment is what i make
After hour drinking in
Feeling like a man of sin
You'll never understand
What exactly it takes to be a man
(You)
What makes a man is his body and soul
(Don't know)
Not the image that they say he holds
(How)
What makes a man is his body and soul
(To be a man)
Not the image they say he holds
Applause
Is that in this country
Every black man born in this country
Until this present moment
Is born into a country
Which assures him
In as many ways as it can find
That he is not worth the dirt he walks on
Applause
I've been wondering
How could you hate me
But appreciate
The things we created
Fear not
Your whiteness is see through
My blackness
Has everything to do with the gun that you choose
Why should i have to be afraid
Don't let me get in the way
Why should i have to be afraid
Don't let me get in the way
Come home late
Disappointment is what i make
After hour drinking in
Feeling like a man of sin
You'll never understand
What exactly it takes to be a man
(You)
What makes a man is his body and soul
(Don't know)
Not the image that they say he holds
(How)
What makes a man is his body and soul
(To be a man)
Not the image they say he holds
Applause
Is that in this country
Every black man born in this country
Until this present moment
Is born into a country
Which assures him
In as many ways as it can find
That he is not worth the dirt he walks on
Applause
I've been wondering
How could you hate me
But appreciate
The things we created
Fear not
Your whiteness is see through
My blackness
Has everything to do with the gun that you choose
Why should i have to be afraid
Don't let me get in the way
Why should i have to be afraid
Don't let me get in the way
