The dark brown shades of my skin, Only add colour to my tears That splash against my hollow bones That rocks my soul
Looking back over my past dreams that I once knew Wondering why my dreams never came true Somebody tell me... what can I do
Something is holding me back (holding me back) Is it because I'm black?
In this world of no pity I was raised in the ghetto of the city
Momma, she worked so hard To earn every penny
Something is holding me back (holding me back) Is it because I'm black? (Is it because I'm black?)
Something is holding me back Is it because I'm black?
~~~♫♫♫ ~~~
Tell me Because my colour Something is holding me back
Like a child steeling his first piece of candy... and got caught Wonder around life's corner somewhere I got lost
Something is holding me back Is it because I'm black?
I want to know I want to know, yeah
Something is holding me back People, is it because I'm black?
Tell me, Can't you see it?
Somebody,... please tell me. Is it because I'm black? Is it because of my colour? YeahTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
