Is It Because I’m Black?

Syl Johnson

[Verse 1]
Dark brown shade 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
Somebody tell me, what can I do

[Chorus]
Something is holding me back
Is it because I'm black?

[Verse 2]
In this world of no pity
I was raised in the ghetto of the city
Mama, she works so hard
To earn every penny

[Chorus]
Something is holding me back
Is it because I'm black?
Something is holding me back
I'm wondering Is it because I'm black

[Verse 3]
Like a child stealing his first piece of candy, and got caught
Wandering life's corner, somewhere I got lost

[Chorus]
Something is holding me back
Is it because I'm black?
Something is holding me back
Is it because I'm black?

[Outro]
Oh, somebody please tell me
Is it because I'm black?
With my black skin
