Paroles
Alright, we gather here around the midnight hour So we can reason, analysis, articulate And appreciate the Black experience The history, the legacy, the lineage, so-called progress And the great cost at which that has come James Baldwin said Anyone who was familiar with poverty was also familiar with How extremely expensive it is to be poor I think songs like this speak to how extremely expensive it is to be black The dark tones of my skin Only adds colour to my tears That splash against my hollow bones And rock my soul Thinking back at my lost dream that I once knew Wondering why it never came true Ooh! Is it because I'm black? Somebody tell me, what can I do I said, something's holding me back Is it because I'm black? In this world with no pity I was born in the ghetto of the city Momma, had to work so hard To earn every penny Listen, something's holding me back Is it because I'm black? Oh!
