Message From A Black Man - Derrick Harriott

No matter how hard you try

You can’t stop me now

No matter how hard you try

You can’t stop me now

Yes, my skin is black

But that’s no reason to hold me back

Oh think about it, think about it,

Think about it, think about it Think about it, think about it, think about it.

I have wants and desires just like you

So move on aside cause i’m a-comin' through

Oh no matter how hard you try you can’t

Stop me now

No matter how hard you try you can’t stop me now.

Yes, your skin is white

Does that make you right

Think about it, think about it Think about it, think about it, think about it.

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 faults yes we do So look in your mirror

What do you see, two eyes a nose and a Mouth just like me Oh 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

No matter how hard you try you can’t stop me now

No matter how hard you try you can’t stop me now.
