Holy Moly - Black Like Me Lyrics

Holy Moly – Black Like Me Lyrics

One, two, three, four.
Bet I would be a better man
If you told me the story
And how you lived a black man’s life
Drenched to the poverty of southern streets
I knew a man who blackened his skin
Just to recall some american sin
The question on everybody’s lips
Is a one man losing his grip?

CHORUS
Are you black like me?
Just a page down in history
Looking for your chemical ancestry
But, are you black like me?
But, are you black like me?

I hope you don’t take this the wrong way
But I am white and I’m happy this way
But I don’t see what the fucking fuss is
‘Bout a man who’s darker than us.

CHORUS
Are you black like me?
Just a page down in history
Looking for your chemical ancestry
But, are you black like me?
But, are you black like me?

Uuh-Uuh. No-oh.
Uuh-Uuh.

CHORUS
Black like me.
Just a page down in history
Looking for your chemical ancestry
But, are you black like me?
But, are you black like me?
