Black Man Cry
By Naia Kete and Lee John
Of SayRea

I hate to see a black man cry
He reminds me of my father
With a heavy heart he sighs
The world upon his shoulders
Always lookin back at life
Like a book without an author
A king would bear the sacrifice
Convinced he was a pauper

I hate to see a black man fight
He reminds me of my brother
Set him off like dynamite
Lead him to the slaughter
Is it fair to call a nigger white,
With a wasp for a mother?
Out of mind and out of sight
In the ghetto like a wasteland
Echo of the black man cry

The Black Man Cry
The Black Man Cry
In the ghetto like a wasteland
Echo of the Black Man Cry

I love to hear a black man sing
He sounds just like my abbah
Burning red gold and green
Vision of a Rasta
Singing for his majesty
Right beside my mama
Singing for humanity
Hero of the homeland
Echo of the black man cry

The Black Man Cry
The Black Man Cry
Hero of the homeland
Echo of the Black Man Cry
The Black Man Cry
The Black Man Cry
Hero of the homeland
Echo of the Black Man Cry
