Do you say that I am the black boy from across the street
looking poor, ignorant, criminal minded, and meek.
Who do you say that I am?
Do you say that I am the black boy who will never succeed in life
thinking that stealing, killing and fighting is the only thing thats right.
Who do you say that I am?
Do you say that I am the black boy who cheats to get by,
to cheat on everything about us including life.
Who do you say that I am?
Do you say that I am the black boy who will never finish school
but drop out and go into society, and break every moral rule.
Who do you say that I am?
Do you say that I am the black boy and a real job I will never feel,
because I;m too blind to look beyond a white man's tobacco field.
Who do you say that I am?
I am the black boy who speaks to the lord above on bending knees, with him by my side
I know i will succeed!!!!
