lirik lagu message from a black man – the spinners
[chorus]
no matter how hard you try, you can’t stop me now
no matter how hard you try, you can’t stop me now
[verse 1]
yes, my skin is black
but that’s no reason to hold me back
(oh, think about it, think about it, think about it, think about it)
(think about it, think about it, think about it)
i have wants and desires just like you
so move aside because i’m comin’ through, oh
[chorus]
no matter how hard you try, you can’t stop me now
no matter how hard you try, you can’t stop me now
[verse 2]
yes, your skin is white
but tell me, my man, does that make you right?
(ooh, think about it, think about it, think about it, think about it)
(think about it, think about it, think about it)
this is a message, a message to y’all
together we stand divided we fall
black is a color just like white
tell me how can a color determine whether you’re wrong or right
and we all have our faults yes we do
so look in the mirror (look in the mirror)
what do you see? (what do you see?)
two eyes (two eyes), one nose (one nose)
and a mouth just like me, oh (mouth just like me)
oh your eyes are open but you refuse to see
the laws of society were made for both you and me
because of my color, i struggle to be free
sticks and stones may break my bones
but in the end, you’re gonna see, my friend
[chorus]
no matter how hard you try, you can’t stop me now
no matter how hard you try, you can’t stop me now
no matter how hard you try, you can’t stop me now
(i’m black and i’m proud)
no matter how hard you try, you can’t stop me now
(oh, run and run and run and running on)
no matter how hard you try, you can’t stop me now
(oh, running on)
no matter how hard you try, you can’t stop me now
(oh, i’m black and i’m proud)
no matter how hard you try, you can’t stop me now
