Black Man
Black Man
Black man
Hear the earth cry
From blood shed on its land
How many must die before you take a stand
Put down that gun you hold in your hand
When will you grown from a boy to a man
Its time you be THE MAN!
Black man
Someone's father, brother are son
Look at your mother
See her tears fall
She wonders why her son keeps ignoring God's call
Are do you wonder why your child cries
Are is the question why your seed goes without a father?
Black man!
Your descented from kings
Greater is he who dwells in thee
How long must it be
Before you take your rightful place
Already hated because of your race
When will you take a stand?
Black man
Hold up one another
Instead of killing off your brother
Once gone no coming back
To forgive is to be forgiven
Learn from your past this to shall pass
Black man!
A world who fears a strong black man
Didnt martin luther king have a dream
When will you finish what he started
Stop being the target
Black man!
Your a lion
Roar!
Walk proud and tall
Your a protector a fighter
Wear you skin well
Be who you truly are
A BLACK MAN!
