Testo Is It Because I'm Black? - Ken Boothe
Testo della canzone Is It Because I'm Black? (Ken Boothe), tratta dall'album 40 Greatest Reggae Hits
Dark brown shade of my skin, ah
Only add color to my tears, uh
That splash against my collar bones
That rocks my soul, oh-ho
Looking back over my past dreams that I once knew
Wondering why my dreams never came true, ooh
Somebody tell me, ooh, what can I do? Oh-ho, mmm
Something is holding me back, ah
Is it because I'm black?
In this world of no pity
I was raised in the ghetto of the city, oh, mmm
Mama, she worked so hard
To earn every penny, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh
Something is holding me back
Is it because I'm black? Uh-ho
Something is holding me back, uh-huh
I'm wondering if it's because I'm black
Like a child stealing his first piece of candy and got caught
Wandering 'round life's corner somewhere, I got lost, uh
Something is holding me back, uh-huh
Is it because I'm black? Mmm, mmm, mmm
Something is holding me back
Is it because I'm black? Huh, ho
Somebody please tell me
Is it because I'm black
With my black skin? Oh
Somebody, someone tell me
It's because I'm black
