I've been low, I've been high

I've been told all my life

I've got nothing left to pray

I've got nothing left to say

All the black men in a white world

All the black men in a white world

All the black men in a white world

All the black men in a white

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

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 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

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've been low and I've been high

I've been told all my life

I've got nothing here to pray

And I've got nothing left to say

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 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

I'm a black man in a white world

(I don't mind who I am)

I'm a black man in a white world

(I don't mind who you are)

I'm a black man in a white world

(I'm not wrong, I'm not wrong)

I'm a black man in a white world

(Oh it's alright, it's alright)

I'm a black man in a white world

(Oh it's alright)
