Philip Lynott - Ode To A Black Man lyrics

Your rating:


If you see Stevie Wonder tell him I hear

If you hear Stevie Wonder tell him I see

I don't want no songs for plants

I want songs for me

I don't want no songs for plants

I want liberty living in the city



If you see the doctor tell him he's king, Dr. Martin Luther

If you see the doctor tell him he's still king, you too Muhammed Ali

But this bad black boy won't be blown away by anything

Yes this bad black boy won't be blown away by anything



There are people in this town

That try to put me down

They say I don't give a damn

But the people in this town

That try to put me down

Are the people in the town

That could never understand a black man

Don't take it no more

Don't take it no more

Don't take it no more



There are people in the town

That try to put me down

They say I don't give a damn, damn

But the people in the town that try to put me down

Are the people in the town that could never understand a black man

Don't take it no more



If you see Robert Johnson, you too Robert Marley, Robert Mugabe

Now tell him I hear

If you see Malcom tell him I'm next, vexed

If you see Jimi, Jimi Hendrix

If you see my brothers tell them it's clear

I've been living on the wrong side

Now I hear

Don't take it no more

I don't take it no more

Mr. Joshua Nkomo

Don't take it no more

Jomo Kenyatta, oh no

Don't take it no more

Haile Selassi, Rastafarian

Don't take it no more

Professor Longhair

Don't take it no more
