No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
Yes, my skin is black
But that's no reason to hold me back
Why don't, think about it, think about it, think about it
I have wants and desires just like you
So, move on aside because I'm comin' through (Oh-oh-oh)
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now (Oh)
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now (Uh)
Yes, your skin is white
Does that make you right?
Why don't, think about it, think about it, think about it
This is a message, a 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 problems (Yes, we do)
So, look in your mirror, what do you see?
Two eyes, a nose, and a mouth just like me (Oh)
Your eyes are open but you refuse to see
The laws of society were made for both, you and me
Because of my color I struggle 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 (Uh)
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now (Uh-uh-uh)
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now (Uh)
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now (Say it loud!)
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now (I'm black an' I'm proud)
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now (Uh-uh-uh)
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now (I'm black an' I'm proud)
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now (Say it loud!)
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now (Say it loud!)
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now (I'm black an' I'm proud)
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now (Say it loud!)
