| The dark brown shades of my skin |
| Only add colour to my tears |
| That splash against my hollow bones, that rocks my soul |
| Looking back over my false dreams, that I once knew |
| Wondering why my dreams never came true |
| Somebody tell me, what can I do |
| Something is holding me back |
| Is it because I’m black? |
| In this world of no pity |
| I was raised in the ghetto of the city |
| Momma, she works so hard |
| To earn every penny |
| Something is holding me back |
| Is it because I’m black? |
| Something is holding me back |
| I wonder, Is it because I’m black? |
| Like a child stealing candy for the first time, and got caught |
| Around life’s corner somewhere I got lost |
| Something is holding me back |
| Is it because I’m black? |
| Something is holding me back |
| Is it because I’m black? |
| And be somebody, somehow, and someway |
