Yeah...   You could call a man a bum with disgust on your morning run   Cause he lives outside in the street, you don't know this   But you've failed to realise that the one you so despise   Reflects yourself cos every black man is homeless   You could take your alka-seltzer while you talk about shelter   You might even wanna talk about a little loan   Cause no matter how rich you become you'll always be two, not one   Cause believe it or not, america ain't your home   We've been taught to say our name, afro-american, all the same   Not fully american but gettin' there very slowly   Cause to fully be american, you know, you gotta take out the word 'afro'   Now they've relaxed I hear they might as well call us toby   See, afro and black are african, while theft is american   So how can afro-american make much sense?    Your ancestors come from africa   By stealing them now you're born in america   So the black man is homeless even though he pays rent   Some black people say "we built this place   So we are american, but of the black race"   Well let me make this little topic known   The japanese also built this place   In technology and they're winnin' the race   But at the end of the day the japanese can go home   Do you see the point that I'm getting at?    I'm not a racist, I'm statin' a fact   Blacks are actually prisoners of war   Cause while south africa continues to fight   We try our best to look more and more white   Proof that the blacks have been stripped of their core   Well, I guess I didn't sing and dance enough   For black radio to play this stuff   But this ain't soft like ice-cream with a sugar cone   I'm only here to state one fact   Wake up african, your colour is black   And every black man is homeless cause he ain't got no home
