You can't stop me now
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
Yes, my skin is black
But that's no reason to hold me back
Oh think about it, think about it,
Think about it, think about it
Think about it, think about it, think about it.
I have wants and desires just like you
So move on aside cause I'm a-comin' through
Oh no matter how hard you try you can't
Stop me now
No matter how hard you try you can't stop me now.
Yes, your skin is white
Does that make you right
Walk on and think about it, think about it
Think about it, think about it
Think about it, think about it, think about it.
This is a message, a message to y'all
Together we stand divided we fall
Black is a color just like white
Tell me how can a color determine whether
You're wrong or right
We all have our faults yes we do
So look in your mirror
What do you see, two eyes a nose and a
Mouth just like me
Oh your eyes are open but you refuse to see
The laws of society were made for both
You and me
Because of my color I struggle to be free
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But in the end you're gonna see my friend
No matter how hard you try you can't stop me now
No matter how hard you try you can't stop me now.
No matter how hard you try You can't stop me now No matter how hard you try You can't stop me now Yes, my skin is black But that's no reason to hold me back Oh think about it, think about it, Think about it, think about it Think about it, think about it, think about it. I have wants and desires just like you So move on aside cause I'm a-comin' through Oh no matter how hard you try you can't Stop me now No matter how hard you try you can't stop me now. Yes, your skin is white Does that make you right Walk on and think about it, think about it Think about it, think about it Think about it, think about it, think about it. This is a message, a message to y'all Together we stand divided we fall Black is a color just like white Tell me how can a color determine whether You're wrong or right We all have our faults yes we do So look in your mirror What do you see, two eyes a nose and a Mouth just like me Oh your eyes are open but you refuse to see The laws of society were made for both You and me Because of my color I struggle to be free Sticks and stones may break my bones But in the end you're gonna see my friend No matter how hard you try you can't stop me now No matter how hard you try you can't stop me now.
