가사
Ooh, my people, dark brown shades of my skin
Only adds color 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, ooh
Somebody tell me, hmm, what can I do?
Ah, yeah
Something is holding me back (holding me back)
Is it because I'm black?
Yeah!
In this world of no pity
I was raised in the ghetto of the city
Oh, hmm, yeah
Mama, 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)
Yeah
Something is holding me back
Is it because I'm black? Yeah
Tell me, because of my color
Something is holding me back
Like a child stealing his first piece of candy, got caught
Wondering wrong life's corner somewhere I got lost, hmm
Something is holding me back
Is it because I'm black?
I wanna know, I wanna know, yeah
Something is holding me back (people)
Is it because I'm black?
Tell me, can't you see?
Somebody, please tell me
Is it because I'm black?
Is it because of my color?
Hey, hey, hey
