Is It Because I'm Black?
-  Syl Johnson -

Is It Because I'm Black (1970)

 

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 false dreams,
that I once knew
Wondering why my dreams
never came true

Is it because I'm black?
Somebody tell me, what can I do
Something is 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 works so hard
to earn every penny
Something is holding me back
Is it because I'm black?

Like a child stealing his first
piece of candy and got caught
Thiefing around life's corner
somewhere I got lost
Something is holding me back
I wonder, is it because I'm black?
Somebody tell me what can I do
Will I survive, or will I die?

Keep on holding me back
Keep on holding on
Keep on picking on me
Keep on holding me back
Keep on holding on
Keep on holding on, holding me back
I wonder why, you do me like that
But you keep on holding me back
Keep on putting your foot on me
But I, I've got to break away
Somehow and someday
Cause I wanna be somebody so bad
I wanna be somebody
I wanna be somebody so bad
You see, I want diamond rings
and things, like you do
And I wanna drive Cadillac cars
I wanna be somebody so bad
But you keep on
putting your foot on me
And I believe, I believe
I can break away
And be somebody
somehow and someway

You see, I heard
somebody say one time
You can make it, if you try
And some of us,
We tried so hard, we tried so hard
I want you to know
that I don't speak for myself
But I speak for y'all too right now

You see, if you have white-like
brown skin and a high yeller
You're still black
So we all got to stick together right now
This I wanna say to you
my sisters and my brothers
Right on sister, right on brother

And we keep on pushing down
We've got to make it a little bit further
We've got to make it a little further
All we got to do is try, try, try
And some of us, we've tried so hard
We've tried so hard, we've tried so hard
We've tried so hard, so hard
to be somebody
We've tried so hard,
although they're holding us back

And it stairs the reason,
that they're doing us like that
You know what? It is
I believe, it is because we are black
But hey, we can't stop now
We can't stop now
We've got to keep on keeping on

I know and I know and I know
that you know that I know it ain't right
It ain't right, it ain't right, it ain't right
That they hold us, hold us back
They're holding us back
They're holding us back
I wonder, sometimes
I sit down, sit down and I wonder
