Black Man's World
When the black man’s word was spoken, yeah
And the white man thought it was a token, oh yeah
We have suffered our whole lives due
Doing things that you’re not supposed to do, yeah
We were beaten 'til our backs were black and blue
I, I was born a loser
I, I was born a loser
Because I’m a black man
I was living in my own land
I was moved because of white man’s plain
I am living in a different land
We don’t want no war, or fuss, oh no
All we need is faith and some trust, whoo
We were beaten our whole lives due
Doing things that you’re not supposed to do, yeah
We were beaten 'til our backs were black and blue
I, I was born a loser
I, I was born a loser
Because I’m a black man
I was moved from my own land
Just because of all those white man’s plain
I am living in a white man’s land
