Message from a Black Man lyrics by The Temptations

Yes, my skin is black
But that's no reason to hold me back
Why don't you think about it
Think about it, think about it, think about it
Think about it, think about it, think about it

I have wants and desires
Just like you
So move on the side
'Cause I'm comin' through, oh

No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now, ooh

Yes, your skin is white
Does that make you right?
Why don't you think about it
Think about it, think about it, think about it
Think about it, think about it, think about it

This is a message
A message to y'all
Together we stand
Divided we fall, oh

Black is a color
Just like white
Tell me how can a color determine whether
You're wrong or right
We all have our faults
Yes we do

So look in your mirror
Look in the mirror
What do you see?
What do you see?
Two eyes
Two eyes
A nose, and a mouth just like me, oh

Your eyes are open
But you refuse to see
The laws of society
Were made for both you and me
Because of my color
I struggle to be free
Sticks and stones
May break my bones
But in the end
You're gonna' see my friend, oh

No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
No matter how hard you try

You can't stop me now

No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now

No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now

No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now

No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
(Say it loud)
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
(Say it loud)
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
(Say it loud)
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now

(Say it)
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
(Say it loud)
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now

(Say it loud)
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
(Say it loud)
I'm black and I'm proud
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
(Say it loud)
I'm black and I'm proud
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
