Black Man

 

A black man, a black man, a strong man
A black man, a black man, a proud man
A black man, a black man, a misunderstood man
A black man, a black man , an unemployed man

A black man, brought to this country by force
A black man, made to work, given no choice
A black man, freedom he couldn't have
A black man, another man made he rich

A black man, free today they say
A black man, look how far we come they say
A black man, from the cotton field
A black man, to the ghetto streets
A black man, how far we come

A black man, this country made it strong
A black man, blood, sweat, and tears
A black man, of thee I sing

A black man, how long shall he wait
A black man, how patient should he be
A black man, when will he ever get his due

A black man, being black has made him strong
A black man, being black has made his mind keen
A black man, being black has made him more determined

A black man, my brothers give not up hope
A black man, teach our children to be proud
A black man, teach them to respect themselves
A black man, teach them to be black, strong and proud
