salaam remi - is it because i'm black lyrics

[verse 1: ceelo green & steven marley]
the dark+brown shade of my skin
only adds colour to my tears
that splash against my hollow bones
that rocks my soul
looking back at my false dreams that i once knew
wondering why all my dreams never came true
ooh! is it because i’m black?
somebody tell me, what can i do
oh something’s holding me back
i wonder, is it because i’m black?

[verse 2: anthony hamilton & black thought]
in this world of no pity
i was raised in the ghetto city
you said, momma, she worked so hard
to earn every penny
oh lord, something’s holding me back
is it because i’m black?
like a child stealing his first piece of candy, and get caught
thieving around life’s corner somewhere i got lost
oh, something’s holding me back
i wonder, is it because i’m black?
somebody tell me what can i do
will i survive, or will i die?
oh it keeps on holding me back
is it because i’m black?
[verse 3: selina johnson]
the dark+brown shade of my skin
only adds colour to my tears
that splash against my hollow bone
that rocks my soul, oh lord!
looking back at my false dreams that i once knew
wondering why all my dreams never came true
is it because i’m black?
somebody tell me, what can i do?
oh something’s holding me back
is it because i’m black?

[outro: ceelo green, steven marley, black thought, anthony hamilton]
oh something’s holding me back
i wonder, is it because i’m black?

oh something’s holding me back
i wonder, is it because i’m black?

oh it keeps on holding me back
is it because i’m black?
