| It’s so sad that you’ve taken
|
| Something that I can’t have back
|
| Just because I’m black
|
| Just because I’m black
|
| I must have been going with the bullseye
|
| Flat on my back I don’t know why
|
| I’m so tired because I’ve been waiting
|
| For justice to be served for me
|
| Victim of this burglary
|
| And something’s wrong with that
|
| I wonder what their people say
|
| That’s who they’re learnt from anyway
|
| Spilled my cold blood on the pavement
|
| Watching my life slip away
|
| Is this really happening
|
| Just because I’m black
|
| I’m gettin' to speak to you someday
|
| What made you think that was okay
|
| Still I went to all the hearings
|
| As the ghost that couldn’t see
|
| Wondering if they on to me
|
| That was too much to ask
|
| But you know ain’t this world that we live
|
| It’s hard for people with my color skin
|
| So rest deep in peace
|
| Niggerman, niggerman
|
| Niggerman, niggerman
|
| Working all your life
|
| To be robbed of your chances to have any chances |
