Testo della canzone Is It Because I'm Black (Salaam Remi feat. Black On Purpose, Black Thought, Syleena Johnson, CeeLo Green, Anthony Hamilton & Stephen Marley), tratta dall'album Is It Because I'm Black - Single
The dark brown shade of my skin
Only adds color to my tears
That splash against my hollow bones
That rocks my soul
Lookin' back over my false dreams that I once knew
Wonderin' why my dreams never came true, woah
Is it because I'm black?
Somebody tell me, what can I do?
Oh, something's holding me back
I wonder, is it because I'm black?
Oh, it is one of those pity things
I was raised in a ghetto city
Ooh, I'm sayin'
Mama, she works so hard
She's pourin' every penny
Oh, Lord, something's holding me back
Is it because I'm black?
Like a child stealin' his first piece of candy and got caught
Peepin' around life's corner and somewhere I got lost
Oh, something is holding me back
I wonder, is it because I'm black?
Somebody tell me, what can I do?
Will I survive or will I die?
Oh, it keeps on holding me back
Is it because I'm black?
The dark brown shades of my skin
Only add color to my tears, oh
That splash against my hollow bones
That rocks my soul, oh Lord
Lookin' back over false dreams that I once knew, woah
Wonderin' why my dreams never came true
Is it because I'm black?
Somebody tell me, what can I do?
Oh, something is holding me back
Is it because I'm black? Yeah
Oh, something's holding me back
I wonder, is it because I'm black?
Woah, something is holding me back
Is it because I'm black?
Oh, something is holding me back
Is it because I'm black?
Oh, it keeps on holding me back
Is it because I'm black?
