Message From A Black Man Lyrics & Chords By 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?
Walk on and think about it, think about it
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
