Jungle Brothers - Black Is Black lyrics

Your rating:


Now from A Tribe Called Quest

And i'm here tonight with The Jungle Brothers

And we're about to get into this thing called

Black is Black is Black is Black



Yeah, uh-huh! aah, baby!

Said yeah! ah hah!

Black is Black is Black is Black



In America today, i have to regret to say

Something, Something is not right

And it deals with Black and White

Tell me Mike G is it me?

Nah, it's just society

Filled with propagander, Huh!

Why do we meander, Huh?

In a zone with hate for peace

All of this B.S must cease

All i am is one Black man

In a mighty big White hand

Brother Brother, Sister Sister

If you're Miss or if you're Mister

Listen please to this fact

Black is Black is Black is Black



Black is Black is Black is Black

Black is Black is Black is Black



Way back when in '68

When brothers didn't have it great

They fought back with civil rights

That scarred the soul, it took the sight

The common foe you plainly see

On the streets or on T.V

Segregation was the king

Vietnam was full in swing

Martin Luther had to shout

"Let's get out, get out, get out!"

The situation sort of changed

But what really makes matters strange

Is our foe is well disguised

We don't know where our fate lies

Still and all we cannot lack

The fact that Black is Black is Black



Black is Black is Black is Black

Black is Black is Black is Black



Judged by both my race and colour

Don't you know we need each other?

I need you and you need me

And if not now you soon will see

My light complexion has no meaning

If you think so you're still dreaming

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up

There's no time for us to break up

Black is Black not Blue or Purple

Being Black is like a circle

Round and round we all will go

Where we end up i don't know

Listen to me if you will

Your fantasies will get you killed

Reality is what is real

Reality is Black is Black

I try, try to tell my people

We all are one, created equal

Before we master, we must plan

Is that so hard to understand?

Today's the day we get together

To try to change and make things better

If not where will we be tomorrow?

Drowning in the pool of sorrow

Daylight shines but still few see

That we must fight for unity

In a picture that's fixed as Black and White

Why's it both that have to fight?

Uplift the race, uplift the race

See my soul and not my face

All for one and one for all

Black is Black, That's right y'all
