A SONG A DAY lyrics : "Man In Black"
There's a war between the man he is and how he's seen
On the TV, Internet, and movie screens
Uneducated, chained by lust & greed. That's what they see
But he is smart. The first to graduate, get his degree
He's changing generations with his dreams
A hero in his home, but in the streets he is seen as
HOOK
A man who is ignorant
A man who is hopeless
A man who was to born to fail
Destined to be in jail
A man who is fatherless
A man who is worth less
Well if that's a black man
I don't know that man ....
Verse II
Cuz that's not the man that I look up to
That's not the man I learned about in school
That's not the man that I listen to ..ohhh
That's not the man who works his job & clocks in right on time
The man that raised me up and changed my life
The man I know is not a stereotype, so why why....
HOOK
Is he viewed as ignorant?
A man who is hopeless
A man who was born to fail
Destined to be in jail
A man who is fatherless
A man who is worth less
Well if that's a black man
I don't know that man
BRIDGE
A man who's a good dad
That is a man in black
A man who is priceless
That is a man in black
A man who's respected
That is a man in black
A man who's a good man
That is a man in black
A man in black
A man in black
A man in black
A man in black
