Black Man in a White World
[Verse 1]
I've been low, I've been high
I've been told all my lies
I've got nothing left to pray
I've got nothing left to say
[Chorus]
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white
[Verse 2]
I'm in love but I'm still sad
I've found peace but I'm not glad
All my nights and all my days
I've been trying the wrong way
[Chorus]
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world
[Verse 3]
I feel like I've been here before
I feel that knocking on my door
I feel like I've been here before
I feel that knocking on my door
And I've lost everything I had
And I'm not angry and I'm not mad
[Chorus]
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world
[Verse 1]
I've been low and I've been high
I've been told all my lies
I've got nothing here to pray
And I've got nothing left to say
[Chorus]
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world
[Verse 2]
I'm in love but I'm still sad
I've found peace but I'm not glad
All my nights and all my days
I've been trying the wrong way
[Verse 4]
I don't mind (I'm a black man in a white world)
Who I am (I'm a black man in a white world)
I don't mind (I'm a black man in a white world)
Who you are (I'm a black man in a white world)
But I'm not wrong (I'm a black man in a white world)
I'm not wrong (I'm a black man in a white world)
Oh, it's alright (I'm a black man in a white world)
It's alright (I'm a black man in a white world)
Oh, it's alright (I'm a black man in a white world)
[Verse 5]
Oh, it's alright (I'm a black man in a white world)
But I'm not fighting (I'm a black man in a white world)
Oh, it's alright (I'm a black man in a white world)
But I'm not fighting (I'm a black man in a white world)
I got somethin' on my mind (I'm a black man in a white world)
Make me sad (I'm a black man in a white world)
Make me mad (I'm a black man in a white world)
Oh, I am not (I'm a black man in a white world)
It's alright (I'm a black man in a white world)
(I'm a black man in a white world)
(I'm a black man in a white world)
(I'm a black man in a white world)
(I'm a black man in a white world)
(I'm a black man in a white world)
(I'm a black man in a white world)
(I'm a black man in a white world)
(I'm a black man in a white world)
(I'm a black man in a white world)
(I'm a black man in a white world)
(I'm a black man in a white world)
(I'm a black man in a white world)
(I'm a black man in a white world)
(I'm a black man in a white world)
It's alright (I'm a black man in a white world)
