Lyrics
[Ceelo Green & Stephen Marley] The dark-brown shade of my skin Only adds colour to my tears That splash against my hollow bones That rocks my soul Looking back at my false dreams that I once knew Wondering why all my dreams never came true Ooh! Is it because I'm black? Somebody tell me, what can I do Oh something's holding me back I wonder, is it because I'm black? [Anthony Hamilton & Black Thought] In this world of no pity I was raised in the ghetto city You said, Momma, she worked so hard To earn every penny Oh Lord, something's holding me back Is it because I'm black? Like a child stealing his first piece of candy, and get caught Thieving around life's corner somewhere I got lost Oh, something's holding me back I wonder, is it because I'm black? Somebody tell me what can I do Will I survive, or will I die? Oh it keeps on holding me back Is it because I'm black? [Syleena Johnson] The dark-brown shade of my skin Only adds colour to my tears That splash against my hollow bone That rocks my soul, oh Lord! Looking back at my false dreams that I once knew Wondering why all my dreams never came true Is it because I'm black? Somebody tell me, what can I do? Oh something's holding me back Is it because I'm black? [Ceelo Green, Stephen Marley, Black Thought, Anthony Hamilton] Oh something's holding me back I wonder, is it because I'm black? Oh something's holding me back I wonder, is it because I'm black? Oh something's holding me back I wonder, is it because I'm black? Oh it keeps on holding me back Is it because I'm black?
