Lyrics Blackman's Pride - 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
