[G] [Fm] .
[F] [F] .
[Fm] .
dark brown shade of my skin, only had color to my tears, [Bbm] .
that splash against my hollow.
bones, [Bb] that [Fm] rocks my soul, looking back over my past dreams that I once knew, wondering.
why my dreams never came true, [Bbm] .
somebody tell me what [Fm] can I do, [Bbm] .
something is holding me.
back, is it [Fm] because I'm black, in this world of no pity, I was raised in the ghetto of the city,.
[Bbm] .
mama she worked so hard, to [Db] earn every penny, [Fm] [Bbm] something is holding me back, is it [Fm] because I'm black,.
[Bbm] .
something is holding me back, I'm wondering [Fm] if it's because I'm black, [Ab] [Fm] .
.
.
.
.
like a child stealing his first piece of candy and got caught, .
wondering when the lights come on, somewhere I got lost, [Bbm] .
something [Fm] is holding me back, [Db] is it [Fm] because I'm black, [Bbm] .
something is holding me back, is [Fm] it because I'm black,.
[Ab] [Bbm] .
somebody please tell me, [Fm] is it because I'm black, with my black skin, .
