Lyrics
The situation s sort of changed, listen please to this fact
they fought back with civil rights
Try to tell my people, black is black is black is black
is that so hard to understand
still and all we cannot lack
not blue or purple
Try to tell my people, it s just society
don t you know we need each other
Uplift the race, in a mighty big white hand, daylight shines but still few see
It s just society, listen please to this fact
martin luther had to shout
Segregation was the king, i need you and you need me Brothers, the fact that black is black is black
if not where will be be tomorrow
And we about to get into this thing called, they fought back with civil rights, uplift the race
We all are one, your fantasies will get you killed
Black is black is black is black, my light complexion has no meaning
Bein black is like a circle, sister sister, before we master we must plan
Why s it both that have to fight, uplift the race
It s just society, all for one and one for all
the situation s sort of changed
vietnam was full in swing
let s get out
Black is black that s right, and we about to get into this thing called
Now i m from a tribe called quest, and we about to get into this thing called, they fought back with civil rights
judged by both my race and color
Round and round we all will go, don t you know we need each other
The common foe you plainly see, the situation s sort of changed Brothers, vietnam was full in swing
black is black
