Back off Brother

How's it feel to be so black?

How's it feel to be so white?

How's it feel to worry about things

And never, never know who's wrong or right?

Looking at things on the other side

Have you got everything or only your pride?

Well, back off, brother

Why don't you live and let live just like any other?

Back off, brother

'Cause I don't owe you nothing

And I don't want nothing from you

Mister preacher man, he act so good

Says he don't, but I know he would

Stick his head up the hole of love

And forget about the Lord above

Looking at things on the other side

Flames of hell gonna burn his hide

Back off, brother

Why don't you live and let live just like any other?

Back off, brother

I said I don't owe you nothing

And I don't want nothing from you

Woo

Bring it on, baby

Ha-hah

One monkey don't stop no show, now

Woo

Listen up

Back off

The committee wants to rate my song

Back off

Woo, they won't leave well enough alone

Back off

Mmm, but my time will come and theirs will pass

Back off

Ha-hah, Uncle Sam, kiss my ass

Back off, brother

Why don't you live and let live just like any other?

Back off, brother

Oh, 'cause I don't owe you nothing

And I don't want nothing from you

Back off, brother

Why don't you live and let live just like any other?

Back off, brother

I said, I don't owe you nothing

Back off, brother (Yeah)

Back off, brother (Ooh, I'm talking to you)

Back off, brother (Let me hear you sing it)

Back off, brother (I'm saying I don't own you anything)

Back off, brother (Let me hear you sing it)

Back off, brother (Mmm, yeah)

Back off, brother (Don't owe you nothing, baby)

Back off, brother (Woo)

Yeah, one monkey don't stop no show
