lyrics

t’s not a state of mind. It’s on my face all the time.
No matter what you hear the wound is still raw my dear.
Nothing to give, not even my name is mine
Oh we came from kings but they sold us like swine
Came here with hope, came to aid the mother land
Came to find a stain
Came to find the fear remains

Make it clear,
I’m not ‘harping back’
Legacy is life but I’m still black
Still black still black
Legacy is life but I’m still black

Sure I make the fist. Sweetly I sing the song
But who you’re marrying dictates who takes the throne
Sip from the melting pot, what we sacrifice
Give away the dark surrender to the light yeah
What becomes of me what becomes of nature’s choice?
What becomes of me, is it worth the sacrifice.

Make it clear,
I’m not ‘harping back’
Legacy is life but I’m still black
Still black still black
Legacy is life but I’m still black

It’s not a state of mind. It’s on my fa-aaa--ace
No matter what you hear the wound is still raw my dear.
Nothing to give, not even my name is mine
Lord we came from kings but they sold us like swine -year
Came here with hope, came to aid the mother land
Came to find a stain
Came to find the fear remains

Oh! Make it clear, Baby it’s a fact
This Legacy is life but I’m still black
Still black
I’m still black
I’m still black
I’m still black
