Is It Because I'm Black?

Lyrics

the dark brown shades of my skin
 only add color to my tears
 that splash aganst my hollow bones
 that rocks my soul
 ♪
 looking back over my past dreams that i once knew
 wondering why my dreams never came true
 somebody tell me
 what can i do
 ♪
 something is holding me back,
 is it because i'm black.
 ♪
 in this world of no pitty
 i was raised in the ghetto of the city
 ♪
 momma she worked so hard
 to earn every penny
 ♪
 something is holding me back cause
 is it because i'm black
 ♪
 something is holding me back cause
 i'm wondering if it's because i'm black
 ♪
 like a child steeling his first piece of candy and got caught
