Ode to a Black Man

If you see Stevie Wonder, tell him I'm here
 If you see Stevie Wonder, tell him I see
 I don't want no songs for plants
 I want songs for me
 I don't want no songs for plants
 I want liberty, I'm living in the city
 If you see the doctor, tell him he's King
 If you see the doctor, tell him he's still King
 But this bad black boy
 Won't be blown away by anything
 Yes, this bad black boy
 Won't be blown away by anything
 There are people in this town that try to put me down
 They say I don't give a damn
 But the people in this town that try to put me down
 Are the people in this town that could never understand a black man
 Get it, man

 There are people in this town that try to put me down
 They say I don't give a damn (damn)
 But the people in this town that try to put me down
 Are the people in this town that could never understand a black man

 If you see Robert Johnson, tell him I'm here
 If you see Jimi, tell him it's clear
 I've been living on the wrong side
 But now I'm here
 I've been living on the wrong side
 Now I'm here
 There are people in this town that try to put me down
 They say I don't give a damn
 But the people in this town that try to put me down
 Are the people in this town that could never understand a black man
 Yeah
