Lyrics
I am the black man and you are the white
I am the deviant and you're always right
I am the darkness and you are the light
I am the black man, you're the white
I am the good little holy up and down
I hang my head in my hand
I hear no, see no, speak no, no, no understand
Well I am the blackness, I am the dark
I am the alcoholic pissed in the park
I am the girl who sold her body to the dark
I am the truth of it, you are the hypocrite
I am the dirty and you are the clean
I live in places where you've never been
I eat the garbage and you eat the cream
I am the dirty, you are the clean
Give me the third degree for being different today
You hit me, you kick me, you tell me how you think I should be
Well I am the blackness, I am the dark
I am the alcoholic pissed in the park
I am the girl who sold her body to the dark
I am the truth of it, you are the hypocrite
I am the good little holy up and down
I hang my head in my hand
I hear no, see no, speak no, no, no understand
Well I am the blackness, I am the dark
I am the alcoholic pissed in the park
I am the girl who sold her body to the dark
I am the truth of it, you are the hypocrite
I am the white man, I paint you black
I am the traitor, but I put you on the rack
I am the coward, I shoot you in the back
I am the white man, I paint you black
I am the good little holy up and down
I hang my head in my hand
I hear no, see no, speak no, no, no understand
Well I am the blackness, I am the dark
I am the alcoholic pissed in the park
I am the girl who sold her body to the dark
I am the truth of it, you are the hypocrite
I am the blackness, I am the dark
I am the alcoholic pissed in the park
I am the girl who sold her body to the dark
I am the truth of it, you are the hypocrite
Black man
