歌詞
[Verse 1]
When the black man's word was spoken, yeah
And the white men thought it was a token, oh yeah
We have suffered our whole lives through
Doin' things that you're not supposed to do, yeah
We were beaten till our back was black and blue
[Verse 2]
Oh I, I was born a loser
Oh I, I was born a loser
Because I'm a black man
[Verse 3]
I was livin' in my own land
I was moved because of white man's plan
I am living in a different land
[Verse 4]
We don't want no war or fuss, oh no
All we need is faith and some trust, woo
We were beaten our whole lives through
Doin' things that you're not supposed to do, yeah
We were beaten till our back was black and blue
[Verse 5]
And I, I was born a loser
I, I was born a loser
Because I'm a black man
[Verse 6]
I was moved from my own land
Just because of all those white man's plan
I am living in a white man's land
