Lyrics

Can't watch those tv shows All the cellphone videos Too much darkness every night But you sleep easy, you're white You think you understand You think you get it, you can't (no no no no) You don't feel it, you can't begin You're not living in my skin You don't know how it feels To be black, living in a white world You don't know how it feels To be black People turn and people stare Why do they try to touch my hair? (what dem a look for?) Final verdict in advance Guilty, at a glance So many words, so many tears (blood sweat and tears) And it's been so many years Every day I, I wonder why (why why why why why) Still we fight and still we die You don't know how it feels To be black (you will never know) living in a white world You don't know how it feels To be black (You will never know, you will never know, yo, yo) Dirty Babylon a take life, like dey make life Dem injustice system no sit right White traffic stop get a ticket or a warnin Black get breakin news every mornin Black mother weepin moanin bawlin De prejudice system need overhaulin Claim dat we guilty through dis skin where we born in De rate where dem a kill black people is alarmin So we say we say we don talk, and we don laugh When we forward, we a bring wrath Babylon, adjust unu moral compass If we rise up it a go be a bloodbath Say unu no like we, but rape we culture We music and style unu vulture Two roads before you, what you wa ga choose Babylon you can' have de riddim Without the blues Mmm mmm You don't know how it feels To be black (you will never know) living in a white world You don't know how it feels To be black (you will never know, no no no no no) You don't know how it feels To be black, living in a white world You don't know how it feels To be
