It's so sad that you've taken Something that I can't have back Just because I'm black Just because I'm black I must have been going with the bullseye Flat on my back I don't know why I am so tired because I've been waiting For justice to be served for me Victim of this burglary And something's wrong with that I wonder what their people say That's who they're learnt from anyway Spilled my cold blood on the pavement Watching my life slip away Is this really happening Just because I'm black I'm gettin' to speak to you someday What made you think that was okay Still I went to all the hearings As the ghost that couldn't see Wondering if they on to me That was too much to ask But you know ain't this world that we live It's hard for people with my color skin So rest deep in peace Niggerman, niggerman Niggerman, niggerman Working all your life To be robbed of your chances to have any chances
