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.
