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
