Yes, my skin is black
But that's no reason to hold me back
Why don't you think about it, think about it, think about it
Think about it, think about it, think about it, think about
Wants and desires just like you
So move on aside, because I'm comin' through, oh
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now, mmm
Yes, my skin is white
But does that make you right?
Why don't you think about it, think about it, think about it
Think about it, think about it (Think about it, think about it)
This is a message, message to y'all
Together we stand, divided we fall
Black is a color just like white
Tell me how can a color determine whether you're wrong or right
We all have our faults, yes we do
*So look in the mirror* (Look in the mirror)
*What do you see?* (What do you see?)
*Two eyes* (Two eyes)
*A nose* (A nose)
*And a* mouth just like me, oh
Your eyes are open but you refuse to see
Laws of society were made for both you and me
Because of my color, I suffer to be free
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But in the end, you're gonna see my friend, oh
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now, mmm
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now
