Message From A Black Man

Lyrics

[Chorus] No matter how hard you try You can't stop me now No matter how hard you try You can't stop me now [Verse 1] Yes, my skin is black But that's no reason to hold me back [Post-Verse] Why don't, think about it, think about it, think about it [Verse 2] I have wants and desires just like you So, move on aside because I'm comin' through (Oh-oh-oh) [Chorus] No matter how hard you try You can't stop me now (Oh) No matter how hard you try You can't stop me now (Uh) [Verse 3] Yes, your skin is white Does that make you right? [Post-Verse] Why don't, think about it, think about it, think about it [Verse 4] 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 problems (Yes, we do) [Post-Verse] So, look in your mirror, what do you see? Two eyes, a nose, and a mouth just like me (Oh) [Verse 5] 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 (Oh) [Chorus] No matter how hard you try You can't stop me now (Uh) No matter how hard you try You can't stop me now (Uh-uh-uh) No matter how hard you try You can't stop me now (Uh) No matter how hard you try You can't stop me now No matter how hard you try You can't stop me now No matter how hard you try You can't stop me now (Say it loud!) No matter how hard you try You can't stop me now (I'm black an' I'm proud) No matter how hard you try You can't stop me now (Uh-uh-uh) No matter how hard you try You can't stop me now (I'm black an' I'm proud) No matter how hard you try You can't stop me now (Say it loud!) No matter how hard you try You can't stop me now (Say it loud!) No matter how hard you try You can't stop me now (I'm black an' I'm proud) No matter how hard you try You can't stop me now (Say it loud!)
