Message From a Black Man

                                  No matter how hard you try

  You can't stop me now

  No matter how hard you try

  You can't stop me now

  Yes, my skin is black

  But that's no reason to hold me back

  Oh think about it, think about it,

  Think about it, think about it

  Think about it, think about it, think about it.



  I have wants and desires just like you

  So move on aside cause I'm a-comin' through

  Oh no matter how hard you try you can't

  Stop me now

  No matter how hard you try you can't stop me now.



  Yes, your skin is white

  Does that make you right

  Walk on and think about it, think about it

  Think about it, think about it

  Think about it, think about it, think about it.



  This is a message, a message to y'all

  Together we stand divided we fall

  Black is a color just like white

  Tell me how can a color determine whether

  You're wrong or right

  We all have our faults yes we do

  So look in your mirror

  What do you see, two eyes a nose and a

  Mouth just like me

  Oh your eyes are open but you refuse to see

  The laws of society were made for both

  You and me

  Because of my color I struggle to be free

  Sticks and stones may break my bones

  But in the end you're gonna see my friend

  No matter how hard you try you can't stop me now

  No matter how hard you try you can't stop me now.
