Ode To A Black Man Lyrics by Philip Lynott

Ode To A Black Man Lyrics

    If you see stevie wonder tell him i hear
    If you hear stevie wonder tell him i see
    I don't want no songs for plants
    I want songs for me
    I don't want no songs for plants
    I want liberty living in the city

    If you see the doctor tell him he's king, dr. martin luther
    If you see the doctor tell him he's still king, you too muhammed ali
    But this bad black boy won't be blown away by anything
    Yes this bad black boy won't be blown away by anything

    There are people in this town
    That try to put me down
    They say i don't give a damn
    But the people in this town
    That try to put me down
    Are the people in the town
    That could never understand a black man
    Don't take it no more
    Don't take it no more
    Don't take it no more

    There are people in the town
    That try to put me down
    They say i don't give a damn, damn
    But the people in the town that try to put me down
    Are the people in the town that could never understand a black man
    Don't take it no more

    If you see robert johnson, you too robert marley, robert mugabe
    Now tell him i hear
    If you see malcom tell him i'm next, vexed
    If you see jimi, jimi hendrix
    If you see my brothers tell them it's clear
    I've been living on the wrong side
    Now i hear
    Don't take it no more
    I don't take it no more
    Mr. joshua nkomo
    Don't take it no more
    Jomo kenyatta, oh no
    Don't take it no more
    Haile selassi, rastafarian
    Don't take it no more
    Professor longhair
    Don't take it no more
