Tonalité : G minor
Verse 1
Am
Speaking as a Black man from America,
which is a racist society
G
Am
No matter how much you hear
it talk about democracy
G
G#
Am
It's as racist as South Africa
G
Am
or as ra cist as Portugal
G
Am
Or as racist as any other
E
racialist society on this earth
Am
The only difference between
G
it and South Africa
Am
South Africa preaches separation
Eb
and practices separation
Am
G
America preaches integration and
Am
practices segregation
This is the only difference
They don't practice what they preach,
G#
Am
A
whereas South Africa preaches and practices the same thing
Am
I have more respect for a man who
G
Am
lets me know where he stands
G#

Even if he's wrong, than the one who comes up
Eb
like an angel and is nothing but a devil

I think that all people have been

Am
A
But I don't agree with him,
G#
I don't follow Muhammad
Am
I don't think anyone
G#
should follow one man
Am
I think they should follow their
own conscience
I think the main problem of most negroes
Eb
Am
is that they feel sorry for themselves
A
And I think this keeps them
Am
back much more
A
Am
Than they would be if they didn't feel so
Eb
Am
sorry for themselves

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

Am

A
Am
(Given up on what?) On the ideal

I'm telling you honestly that

I think you've given up

as though you are so powerful

And you are so wonderful,
Am
G
and I am so ashamed of my words

G
Eb
That I have to twist and turn
Please, you're not dealing
with that kind of man
Am
You're dealing with a man who means
Am
what he says and says what he means
