Black MessiahEverybody got the right to speak their mindSo don't shoot me for saying mine Everybody talking about racial equality 'cos everybody's equal in the good lord's eyes But if I told you that God was black What would you think of that I bet you wouldn't believe it There's a self made prophet living right next to me He said the black messiah's gonna come and set the whole world free He looked at me with his evil eye and prophesied And he really believed it He said a black messiah is gonna set the world on fire And he's no liar, 'cos he has truly heard the word Everybody talking about racial equality But I'm the only honky living on an all black street They knock me down 'cos they brown and I white Everybody got the right to speak their mind So don't shoot me for saying mine Everyobody talking about racial equality You hear everybody talking about equal rights But white's white, black's black and that's that And that's the way you should leave it Don't want no black messiah to come and set the world on fire A black messiah is gonna come and rule the world Everybody got to show a little give and take Everybody got to live with a little less hate Everybody gotta work it out, we gotta sort it out Everbody got the right to speak their mind So don't shoot me for saying mine |
