Verse 1
Bbm
Speaking as a Black man from America,
which is a racist society
Ab
Bbm
No matter how much you hear
it talk about democracy
Ab
A
Bbm
It's as racist as South Africa
Ab
Bbm
or as ra cist as Portugal
Ab
Bbm
Or as racist as any other
F
racialist society on this earth
Bbm
The only difference between
Ab
it and South Africa
Bbm
South Africa preaches separation
E
and practices separation
Bbm
Ab
America preaches integration and
Bbm
practices segregation
This is the only difference
They don't practice what they preach,
A
Bbm
Bb
whereas South Africa preaches and practices the same thing
Bbm
I have more respect for a man who
Ab
Bbm
lets me know where he stands
A
Bbm
Even if he's wrong, than the one who comes up
E
like an angel and is nothing but a devil
Verse 2
A
Bbm
I don't agree with him because I'm not
a follower of Muhammad myself
A
Bbm
A
I think that all people have been
Bb
Ab
mistreated in some form or another
E
Bbm
Bb
But I don't agree with him,
A
I don't follow Muhammad
Bbm
I don't think anyone
A
should follow one man
Bbm
I think they should follow their
own conscience
I think the main problem of most negroes
E
Bbm
is that they feel sorry for themselves
Bb
And I think this keeps them
Bbm
back much more
Bb
Bbm
Than they would be if they didn't feel so
E
Bbm
sorry for themselves
Verse 3
Bb
Bbm
If Martin Luther King,
Ab
Bbm
Eb
Roy Wilkins or any of these uh compromising negroes
Bb
Bbm
Bb
Who say exactly what the white man wants
A
F
Bbm
to hear is interviewed anywhere
Ab
A
In the country, you don't get anybody
Bbm
to offset what they say
But whenever a black man stands up and says
E
Bbm
something that white people don't like
E
A
Then the first thing that white man does is
Bbm
run around and try and find somebody
A
Bbm
To say something to offset
F
Bbm
what has just been said
Bb
Bbm
This is natural, but it is done
E
You know what I think?
Verse 4
Bbm
E
I just
Bbm
E
Bbm
think you've given up
Bb
Bbm
(Given up on what?) On the ideal
Ab
Bbm
of an integrated America
The dream of Martin Luther King,
I think you've given up
Bbm
This is not, I'm not trying
Ab
to be a smart alec now
Bbm
I'm telling you honestly that
Bbm
I think you've given up
Verse 5
Bbm
E
You know, it's in teresting how
A
Bbm
E
A
Bbm
white folks sit here thinking
Ab
Bbm
A
That I have a reason to lie to you,
Bbm
as though you are so powerful
Ab
Bbm
Ab
E
And you are so wonderful,
Bbm
Ab
and I am so ashamed of my words
Bbm
Ab
E
That I have to twist and turn
Please, you're not dealing
with that kind of man
Bbm
You're dealing with a man who means
Bbm
what he says and says what he means
