Message From A Black Man Lyrics – The Temptations
Singer: The Temptations
Title: Message From A Black Man
[Melvin:] Yes, my skin is black,
But that’s no reason to hold me back
[Eddie:] Why don’t you 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 on the side
‘Cause I’m comin’ through, oh!
[Temptations:] No matter how hard you try
You can’t stop me now
Eddie and Temptations: No matter how hard you try
You can’t stop me now, oooh…
[Melvin:] Yes, your skin is white…
Does that make you right?
[Eddie:] Why don’t you 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, oh!
[Dennis:] Black is a color
Just like white,
Tell me how can a color determine whether
You’re wrong or right,
We all have our faults…
Yes we do
[Eddie:] So look in your mirror
[Temptations:] Look in the mirror
[Eddie:] What do you see?
[Temptations:] What do you see?
[Eddie:] Two eyes,
[Temptations:] Two eyes,
[Eddie:] A nose, and a mouth just like me, oh!
[Eddie:] 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, oh!
[Temptations:] No matter how hard you try
You can’t stop me now
[chorus repeated several times through music, or “the bridge”]
[after a few minutes, above chorus is repeated as song nears end, and then…]
[Temptations:] Say it loud!
No matter how hard you try
You can’t stop me now
[Temptations:] Say it loud!
No matter how hard you try
You can’t stop me now
[Temptations:] Say it!
No matter how hard you try
You can’t stop me now
[Temptations:] Say it loud!
No matter how hard you try
You can’t stop me now
[Temptations:] Say it loud!
[Dennis:] I’m black and I’m proud!
[Temptations:] No matter how hard you try
You can’t stop me now
[Temptations:] Say it loud!
[Dennis:] I’m black and I’m proud!
[Temptations:] No matter how hard you try
You can’t stop me now
[fade to end]
