Alton Ellis - Black Man's World - aka "Black Man, White Man" Lyrics

Lyrics Black Man's World - aka "Black Man, White Man" - Alton Ellis



When the black man's word was spoken, yes
And the white folks thought it was a token, ooh
We have suffered our whole lives through
Doing things that you're not supposed to do, no
We were beaten 'til our backs were black and blue
Oh I, I was born a loser
Oh I, I was born a loser
Because I'm a black man
I was living in my own land
I was moved because of white man's plan
Now I am living in a white man's land
We don't want no war or fighting, oh no
All we need is love and some living, ooh
We must try and live with each other
Knowing that we were made by our Father
We have suffered our whole lives through
Oh I, I was born a loser
Oh I, I was born a loser
Because I'm a black man
I was living in my own land
I was moved because of white man's plan
And now I am living in a white man's land
Hey man
Oh oh oh well, yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Still I'm living
I've got to keep on the going
Oh oh
