Black Man's Strain

Why, why, why, oh yeah now,

Must the black man strain?

Why people, must he sweat and strain?

He toil each day

From dawn 'til dusk (yes a true)

Tryin' to achieve (yes a true)

The little he can (we know a true)

But just can't make it (a really true)

I wonder what's wrong (we know a true)

What's wrong now? (a really true)

Tell me, what's wrong...

Why, why must the black man strain?

I really wanna know people, now

Must he sweat and strain?

He toil each day

From dawn 'til dusk (yes a true)

Tryin' to achieve (yes a true)

The little he can (we know a true)

But just can't make it (a really true)

I wonder what's wrong (we know a true)

What's wrong now? (a really true)

Tell me, what's wrong...

Why, why must the black man strain?

I really wanna know people, now

Must he sweat and strain?

Tell me, tell me

Must the black man strain?

I really wanna know people, now

Must he sweat and strain?
