Is It Because I'm Black ? |
| The dark brown shades of my skin only add color to my tears. |
| that splash aganst |
| my hollow bones, that rocks my soul. |
| Looking back over my false dreams that I once knew. |
| wondering why my dreams |
| never came true. |
| Is it because I’m black… somebody tell me what can I do… |
| Something is holding me back, is it because I’m black. |
| In this world of no pitty I was raised in the ghetto of the city |
| Momma she worked so hard to earn every penny… oh lord |
| Something is holding me back cause… is it because I’m black |
| Like a child steeling his first piece of candy. |
| that cost… even in my corner |
| somewhere I got lost |
| Something is holding me back… I wonder… is it because I’m black |
| Somebody tell me what I can do. |
| Will I survive or will I die. |
| Keep on holdinig me back |
| Keep on holding on Keep on picking on me Keep on holding me back |
| Keep on holding on, keep on holding me back |
| Keep on holding be back, I wonder why you do me like that |
| But you keep on putting your foot on me But I’ve got a break a way, some how, some day, |
| Cause I wanna be somebondy so bad, so so bad, I wanna be somebody. |
| I wanna be somebody so bad. |
| But something is holding me back |
| Is it because I’m black, is because I’m black… is because I’m black |
| Something is holding me back, |
| I want diamond rings and things. |
