Being black in America
Sometimes I can't believe
People think that I'm just a crazy fool
For believing in a dream
Being black in America
Sometimes I can't believe
People think that I'm just a crazy fool
For believing in a dream
They look at me, they look at my car
And then they try to tell me that I'm a star
To me there's no such thing
Some of us are lucky by far
But still we fight for the rights to be
Black and proud and set free
I beg your pardon, I didn't mean you
I take the blame, you don't stand accused
To you my love and apology
The point is, it's only getting worse
If not for ourselves, the children deserve
A better world from you and me
If I could dream tomorrow, Lord, Lord
I'd take all the hurt away of yesterday
If I could save your sorrows, Lord knows
I'd save them, baby, save them for a rainy day
Being black in America (Black in America)
Sometimes I can't believe (I don't know why they can't believe)
People think that I'm just a crazy fool (Black in America)
For believing in a dream (Lord knows everybody knows me)
Being black in America (Black in America, Lord, baby)
Sometimes I can't believe (No, I just can't, I can't believe)
People think that I'm just a crazy fool (Can't believe, no, no, no)
For believing in a dream
