Yes, my skin is black But that's no reason to hold me back Why don't you think about it, think about it 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 aside because I'm comin' through, oh No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now Yes, your skin is white Does that make you right? Why don't you think about it, think about it 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 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 So look in your mirror, what do you see? Two eyes, a nose and a mouth just like me Oh, 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 No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now We are rollin', rollin', rollin', we are rollin' on No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now Hey, we are rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' on No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now You can't stop me, you can't stop me No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now Say it loud No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now Say it loud No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now Say it loud No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now Say it No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now Say it loud No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now Say it loud No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now Say it loud I'm black and I'm proud No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now Say it loud I'm black and I'm proud No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now Say it loud I'm black and I'm proud
