Black In America

[Chorus]
Being in black in America
Sometimes I can’t believe
People think that I’m just a crazy fool
For believing in a dream
Being in black in America
Sometimes I can’t believe
People think that I’m just a crazy fool
For believing in a dream

[Verse]
They look at me, they look at my car
I think they try to tell me that I’m a star
To me there’s no such thing
Some of us are lucky by far
But still we fight for the rights to be
Black and brown and set free
I beg your pardon, I didn’t mean you
I take the blame, you don’t stand accused
To you my love and apology
The point is, it’s only getting worse
If not for ourselves, the children deserve
A better world from you and me

[Bridge]
If I could dream tomorrow, my Lord
I’d take all the hurt away, yesterday
If I could save your sorrows, Lord knows
I’d save ‘em, baby, save ‘em for a rainy day, yeah

[Chorus]
Being in black in America
(Black in America)
Sometimes I can’t believe
(I don’t know why you can’t believe)
People think that I’m just a crazy fool
(Black in America)
For believing in a dream
(No, no, everybody)
Being in black in America
(Black in America, no baby)
Sometimes I can’t believe
(You know I just can’t, I can’t believe)
People think that (Can’t, can’t believe) I’m just a crazy fool
For believing in a dream
