Tell Me How You Black Man, Everyday

Tell Me How You Black Man Everyday

Tell me how you wake up With the world on your back

Tell me how your black don’t  crack

Tell me how you walk down the street

Tell me why my soul sing every time we meet and greet

Tell me how you are able to smile

With the world against you the whole while

Tell me how you stand tall

Tell me how you’re harder than a brick wall

Tell me how you punch to fight

Tell me how you sleep at night.

Tell me how you live anyway

Tell me how you black man, everyday
