Verse 1
Dm
Speaking as a Black man from America,
which is a racist society
C
Dm
No matter how much you hear
it talk about democracy
C
C#
Dm
It's as racist as South Africa
C
Dm
or as ra cist as Portugal
C
Dm
Or as racist as any other
A
racialist society on this earth
Dm
The only difference between
C
it and South Africa
Dm
South Africa preaches separation
Ab
and practices separation
Dm
C
America preaches integration and
Dm
practices segregation
This is the only difference
They don't practice what they preach,
C#
Dm
D
whereas South Africa preaches and practices the same thing
Dm
I have more respect for a man who
C
Dm
lets me know where he stands
C#
Dm
Even if he's wrong, than the one who comes up
Ab
like an angel and is nothing but a devil

C#
Dm
I don't agree with him because I'm not
a follower of Muhammad myself
C#
Dm
C#
I think that all people have been
D

mistreated in some form or another
Ab
Dm
D
But I don't agree with him,
C#
I don't follow Muhammad
Dm
I don't think anyone
C#
should follow one man
Dm
I think they should follow their
own conscience
I think the main problem of most negroes
Ab
Dm
is that they feel sorry for themselves
D
And I think this keeps them
Dm
back much more
D
Dm
Than they would be if they didn't feel so
Ab
Dm
sorry for themselves

Who say exactly what the white man wants
C#
A
Dm
to hear is interviewed anywhere
C
C#
In the country, you don't get anybody
Dm
to offset what they say
But whenever a black man stands up and says
Ab
Dm
something that white people don't like
Ab
C#
Then the first thing that white man does is
Dm
run around and try and find somebody
C#
Dm
To say something to offset
A
Dm
what has just been said
D
Dm
This is natural, but it is done
Ab
You know what I think?

Dm
Ab
Dm

D
Dm
(Given up on what?) On the ideal
C
Dm
of an integrated America
The dream of Martin Luther King,
I think you've given up
Dm
This is not, I'm not trying
C
to be a smart alec now
Dm
I'm telling you honestly that
Dm
I think you've given up

Dm
white folks sit here thinking
C

That I have a reason to lie to you,
Dm
as though you are so powerful
C
Dm
C
Ab
And you are so wonderful,
Dm
C
and I am so ashamed of my words
Dm
C
Ab
That I have to twist and turn
Please, you're not dealing
with that kind of man
Dm
You're dealing with a man who means
Dm
what he says and says what he means
