Ode To A Black Man |
| If you see Stevie Wonder tell him I hear |
| If you hear Stevie Wonder tell him I see |
| I don’t want no songs for plants |
| I want songs for me |
| I don’t want no songs for plants |
| I want liberty living in the city |
| If you see the doctor tell him he’s king, Dr. Martin Luther |
| If you see the doctor tell him he’s still king, you too Muhammed Ali |
| But this bad black boy won’t be blown away by anything |
| Yes this bad black boy won’t be blown away by anything |
| There are people in this town |
| That try to put me down |
| They say I don’t give a damn |
| But the people in this town |
| That try to put me down |
| Are the people in the town |
| That could never understand a black man |
| Don’t take it no more |
| Don’t take it no more |
| Don’t take it no more |
| There are people in the town |
| That try to put me down |
| They say I don’t give a damn, damn |
| But the people in the town that try to put me down |
| Are the people in the town that could never understand a black man |
| Don’t take it no more |
| If you see Robert Johnson, you too Robert Marley, Robert Mugabe |
| Now tell him I hear |
| If you see Malcom tell him I’m next, vexed |
| If you see Jimi, Jimi Hendrix |
| If you see my brothers tell them it’s clear |
| I’ve been living on the wrong side |
| Now I hear |
| Don’t take it no more |
| I don’t take it no more |
| Mr. Joshua Nkomo |
| Don’t take it no more |
| Jomo Kenyatta, oh no |
| Don’t take it no more |
| Haile Selassi, Rastafarian |
| Don’t take it no more |
| Professor Longhair |
| Don’t take it no more |
