Paroles de Is It Because I'm Black
[Verse 1:]The dark brown shades of my skin only add color to my tears. that splash aganst my hollow bones, that rocks my soul.
Looking back over my false dreams that I once knew. wondering why my dreams never came true.
[Chorus:]
Is it because I'm black... somebody tell me what can I do...
Something is holding me back, is it because I'm black.
[repeat]
In this world of no pitty I was raised in the ghetto of the city
Momma she worked so hard to earn every penny... oh lord
Something is holding me back cause... is it because I'm black
[repeat]
[Verse 2:]
Like a child steeling his first piece of candy. that cost... even in my corner somewhere I got lost
Something is holding me back... I wonder... is it because I'm black
Somebody tell me what I can do.
[Bridge:]
Will I survive or will I die.
Keep on holdinig me back
Keep on holding on
Keep on picking on me
Keep on holding me back Cause I wanna be somebondy so bad, so so bad, I wanna be somebody. I wanna be somebody so bad.
But something is holding me back
Is it because I'm black, is because I'm black... is because I'm black
Something is holding me back,
I want diamond rings and things.
[repeat]
In this world of no pitty I was raised in the ghetto of the city
Momma she worked so hard to earn every penny... oh lord
Something is holding me back cause... is it because I'm black
[repeat]
[Verse 2:]
Like a child steeling his first piece of candy. that cost... even in my corner somewhere I got lost
Something is holding me back... I wonder... is it because I'm black
Somebody tell me what I can do.
[Bridge:]
Will I survive or will I die.
Keep on holdinig me back
Keep on holding on
Keep on picking on me
Keep on holding me back Cause I wanna be somebondy so bad, so so bad, I wanna be somebody. I wanna be somebody so bad.
But something is holding me back
Is it because I'm black, is because I'm black... is because I'm black
Something is holding me back,
I want diamond rings and things.
