I love you, still, for more time, yeah.

[Am]
Hey!
[Em]
This is the kind of lesson you [Dm] got to learn.
[Em] Standing on the corner with his will to pray.
A winner's [Em] seat's better than a slave.
[Am]
I'm [Em] begging each and every day.
[Am]
You [Em] got to hear what I [Am] say.
And [Em] leave the corner and run [Am] away.
A [Em] literacy program is designed [E] to open your mind.
So you can be literate and get [D] a job and feel so [E] fine.
[Em] Instead of begging on the corner [Am] every day.
[Em] You hear what the [Am] brother said?
[Em] Billion [E] down there.
Do, do, do, do down there.
[Em] [Am]
People of [Em] low mentality [Am] will never get around to [Em] equality.
[Am] Equality and justice stands for [E] all.
Who know that [Em] Satan's kingdom must [Dm] fall.
[Am]
[Dm] And set the [Am] captives free, so you got to understand.
[G] I come to rule the musical nation with justice and equality.
[Am] So black man, you got to be free like a bird [Em] in a tree.
[Dm] And live in love and unity for right [Em] now.
Maybe you can make it if you [Am] try.
It's a black [Em] man time.
[Am] Maybe it's a black man [Em] time.
[Am] Maybe it's a black [Em] man time.
[Am] Just keep on moving [E] people down the [Em] line.
[Am] So this a black man [Em] time.
[Am] So this a black man [Em] time.
[Am] You move a groove and feel [Em] fine.
[Am] You keep on drinking up your [Em] wine.
I tell [Am] you, it's a black man [Em] time.
[A] Stabbing on the corner [Em] each and every [Am] day.
Not even [Em] thinking to go around and [Am] play.
Stabbing on the [Em] corner giving trouble.
[Am] But when the bombing on the close, you have to struggle [Em] up.
[Dm]
[Em]
Learn [Am] to communicate.
[Em] And speak around to [Am] see your brother that you got to [Em] spread.
[Am] You see you got to rule your [Em] little slave.
[Am] And keep on coming from [E] your gate.
But this a black man [Em] time.
[Am] But this a black [Em] man time.
[Am] You walk and sing what's right down [Em] the line.
[Am] You move a groove and feel [E] very fine.
