The Struggles of a Black Man

The black man has had a life full of trauma Forget what you heard save the drama for your mama When will the struggles for the black man end When we will come together as a people and blend Keep your head up black man and keep standing tall You always have to give your all and all Your struggle as a black man as a black woman I understand And I will be there for you my black man I know that times get frustrated and hard And you always have to be on your guard My black man stands with beaming pride Because I'm his black woman I'll stand by his side You have the strength to cope and endure Just lean on me I'll be your allure I'll always remember my black man with much pride And I will continue to stand by his side For the struggles of the black man continue to go on Just remember my black man you are not alone So keep hope alive and soar on high Beacause you are my black man with dignity and pride
