Black Man

Black man Black man why should you hold that gun in your hand/ Black man Black man why should you put that body in the sand/ Black man Black man why should you treat another man like dirt/ Black man Black man why do you put your mother through all this hurt/ Black man Black man why did you shoot that man/ Black man Black man now his blood is on your hands/ Black man Black man it’s time to grow up and be a man/ Black man Black man please take that gun from your hand.
