The Last Poets - The Last Poets

Just Because

Just because you're black
Just because you're black
(Justice, peace)

You say you don't wanna die because
I don't wanna die because
You say you don't wanna die
Because there's no cause to die for
And what would cause you to say that?

Is it because you have a good job
And a home in the surburbs?
Or is it because you've been pink and yellow
Causing all the women
To scream from a cause unknown?

Just because you're seemingly satisfied
That's no cause to begin
