Hear me speak when I'm allowed
I am black I have roots
And they're stronger than your boots
I may be black but you're the fool
When you kept me out of school
I am black and I am good
You hid your hate behind a hood
I am black you don't care
My head bowed, fist in the air
Yes I'm black yes you're white
And for the most part we're alright
But I'm black and now and then
It all returns to way back when
I am black and it's a sin
You can't see past my coloured skin
I am black and just like you
I am a human being too
