Black Is Black |
| Now I’m from a Tribe Called Quest |
| And I’m here tonight with the Jungle Brothers |
| And we about to get into this thing called |
| Black is black is black is black |
| Black is black is black is black |
| In America today |
| I have to regret to say |
| Somethin, somethin is not right |
| And it deals with black and white |
| Tell me Mike G, is it me? |
| Nah, it’s just society |
| Filled with propaganda, huh? |
| Why do we meander, huh? |
| In a zone with hate for peace |
| All of this BS must cease |
| All I am is one black man |
| In a mighty big white hand |
| Brother brother, sister sister |
| If you’re miss or if you’re mister |
| Listen please to this fact |
| Black is black is black is black |
| (Don't you think it’s a crime) |
| Black is black is black is black |
| (Don't you think it’s a crime) |
| Black is black is black is black |
| Now way back when in '68 |
| Brothers didn’t have it great |
| They fought back with civil rights |
| They scarred your soul and took your sight |
| The common foe you plainly see |
| On the streets or on TV |
| Segregation was the king |
| Vietnam was full in swing |
| Martin Luther had to shout |
| Let’s get out, get out, get out |
| The situation’s sort of changed |
| But what really makes matters strange |
| Is our foe is well disguised |
| We don’t know where our fate lies |
| Still and all we cannot lack |
| The fact that black is black is black |
| (Don't you think it’s a crime) |
| Black is black is black is black |
| (Don't you think it’s a crime) |
| Black is black is black is black |
| Judged by both my race and color |
| Don’t you know we need each other |
| I need you and you need me |
| And if not now you soon will see |
| My light complexion has no meaning |
| If you think so you’re still dreaming |
| Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up |
| There’s no time for us to break up |
| Black is black, not blue or purple |
| Being black is like a circle |
| Round and round we all will go |
| Where we end up I don’t know |
| Listen to me if you will |
| Your fantasies will get you killed |
| Reality is what is real |
| Reality is black is black |
| I try, try to tell my people |
| We all are one, created equal |
| Before we master we must plan |
| Is that so hard to understand? |
| Today’s the day we get together |
| To try to change and make things better |
| If not where will be be tomorrow? |
| Drowning in a pool of sorrow |
| Daylight shines but still few see |
| That we must fight for unity |
| In a picture that’s fixed as black and white |
| Why’s it both that have to fight? |
| Uplift the race, uplift the race |
| See my soul and not my face |
| All for one and one for all |
| Black is black — that’s right, y’all |
| Don’t you think it’s a crime |
| Don’t you think its a crime |
| (Black is black is black is black) |
| (Black is black is black is black) |
