Black Man
Police brutality
Typical life of a black man
They say that God made us all
We never asked to be brown skin
Now we praying asking God
Why is it so Hard for a black man
Instead of praying for a change
I think it's time we make a change
Come together
Black Man, white man
Didn't Sam Cook Say
That a change gone come
But change never came
Every night I pray
That I don't get shot
In a routine traffic stop
Got to pray for Minnesota
Where they shot Mr. Wright
Doing a routine traffic stop
You can be a black man
Or a white man
Skin color don't matter
Still man
Can we not bare arms
But join hands
Can I get a Amen
For Amen
God created this land
For all men
Who made this land?
The black man
Taught to do it God's way
By the white man
Still fugitives to
The slave act
Is it really God's way
Or the white man's
Was it really God's plan
Or the white man's
I'm on my knees
Asking God
Why it's so hard for a black man
Police brutality
Typical life of a black man
They say that God made us all
We never asked to be brown skin
Now we praying asking God
Why is it so Hard for a black man
Instead of praying for a change
I think it's time we make a change
Come together
Black Man, white man
Gave us black history
Month
Then took the credit
For what we done
Matter of fact
The credit for what we did
They don't see no reason
For us to
Have freedom
No right
For us to live
So they make it hard
For us to live
Wanna know your truth
Better learn your roots
Why we so segregated
They'll never admit
That greed and power
Got us separated
Is it trust your God
Or in God we trust
One nation
Many races
We want the justice
Yeah justice
Justice for all
Them negro spirituals
Yeah the same ones
That the choirs be singing
Them was my ancestors
Cry hoping God
Free them from slavery
Police brutality
Typical life of a black man
They say that God made us all
We never asked to be brown skin
Now we praying asking God
Why is it so Hard for a black man
Instead of praying for a change
I think it's time we make a change
Come together
Black Man, white man
My people dying from
Police brutality
Our children suffering
From police brutality
Can you survive through
Poverty from police brutality
This land is your land
They same way
It's made for me
Police brutality
Typical life of a black man
They say that God made us all
We never asked to be brown skin
Now we praying asking God
Why is it so Hard for a black man
Instead of praying for a change
I think it's time we make a change
Come together
Black Man, white man
Typical life of a black man
They say that God made us all
We never asked to be brown skin
Now we praying asking God
Why is it so Hard for a black man
Instead of praying for a change
