Jesse Johnson — Black In America

[Chorus] Being in black in America Sometimes I can’t believe People think that I’m just a crazy fool For believing in a dream Being in black in America Sometimes I can’t believe People think that I’m just a crazy fool For believing in a dream [Verse] They look at me, they look at my car I think they try to tell me that I’m a star To me there’s no such thing Some of us are lucky by far But still we fight for the rights to be Black and brown and set free I beg your pardon, I didn’t mean you I take the blame, you don’t stand accused To you my love and apology The point is, it’s only getting worse If not for ourselves, the children deserve A better world from you and me [Bridge] If I could dream tomorrow, my Lord I’d take all the hurt away, yesterday If I could save your sorrows, Lord knows I’d save ‘em, baby, save ‘em for a rainy day, yeah [Chorus] Being in black in America (Black in America) Sometimes I can’t believe (I don’t know why you can’t believe) People think that I’m just a crazy fool (Black in America) For believing in a dream (No, no, everybody) Being in black in America (Black in America, no baby) Sometimes I can’t believe (You know I just can’t, I can’t believe) People think that (Can’t, can’t believe) I’m just a crazy fool For believing in a dream
