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 |
