BLACK MAN<br />
(To "Soul Man" by Sam and Dave)<br />
Want some power<br />
In the ghetto<br />
And when I get it<br />
Ain't gonna let go<br />
I'm bad and bold<br />
Ain't 'fraid <strong>of</strong> nothing<br />
So don't worry<br />
Cause I'm coming<br />
I'm a <strong>Black</strong> Man<br />
I'm a <strong>Black</strong> Man<br />
I'm a <strong>Black</strong> Man<br />
I'm a <strong>Black</strong> Man<br />
I got my courage<br />
The hard way<br />
And I'm getting bolder<br />
Each and every day<br />
So watch me now<br />
And I'll make a bet<br />
That you ain't seen<br />
Nothing yet<br />
I'm a <strong>Black</strong> Man<br />
I'm a <strong>Black</strong> Man<br />
I'm a <strong>Black</strong> Man<br />
I'm a <strong>Black</strong> Man<br />
I was brought up<br />
On a side street<br />
I learned how to fight<br />
Before I could eat<br />
When I hit the Beast<br />
Just watch him drop<br />
When I fight Whitey<br />
Oh I can't stop<br />
I'm a <strong>Black</strong> Man<br />
I'm a <strong>Black</strong> Man<br />
I'm a <strong>Black</strong> Man<br />
I'm a <strong>Black</strong> Man<br />
Grap a rope<br />
And I'll set you free<br />
All I want<br />
Is liberty<br />
I'm a <strong>Black</strong> man<br />
FADING AWAY<br />
(To the tune by the Temptations)<br />
The Soul <strong>of</strong> our Slackness, Bm<br />
When we were in Africa<br />
Is lost in America<br />
It's fading away<br />
Fading away<br />
Fading away<br />
And the peace that we used to see<br />
When we lived in harmony<br />
Ts gone with our liberty<br />
It's fading away<br />
Fading away<br />
Fading away<br />
We're slaves and it's showing, baby<br />
We're slaves and it's showing, tell me<br />
Where is our Soul going?<br />
Like the time when we ruled the earth<br />
And we thought we'd proved our worth<br />
Was ruined by the white man's birth<br />
It's fading away<br />
Fading away<br />
Fading away<br />
And the strength <strong>of</strong> our father's arms<br />
The grace <strong>of</strong> our mother's charms<br />
Was killed on the southern farms<br />
It's fading away<br />
Fading away<br />
Fading away<br />
We're slaves and it's showing baby<br />
We're slaves and it's showing, tell me<br />
Where is our Soul going?<br />
Like war in old Africa<br />
Like peace in America<br />
The Soul <strong>of</strong> our <strong>Black</strong>ness, Gro<br />
Is fading away<br />
Fading away<br />
Fading away<br />
