I've been low, I've been high
I've been told all my life
I've got nothing left to pray
I've got nothing left to say

All the black men in a white world
All the black men in a white world
All the black men in a white world
All the black men in a white

I'm in love but I'm still sad
I've found peace but I'm not glad
All my nights and all my days
I've been trying the wrong way

I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world

I feel like I've been here before
I feel that knocking on my door
I feel like I've been here before
I feel that knocking on my door
And I've lost everything I had
And I'm not angry and I'm not mad

I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world

I've been low and I've been high
I've been told all my life
I've got nothing here to pray
And I've got nothing left to say

I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world
I'm a black man in a white world

I'm in love but I'm still sad
I've found peace but I'm not glad
All my nights and all my days
I've been trying the wrong way
I don't mind who I am (I'm a black man in a white world, I'm a black man in a white world))
I don't mind who you are (I'm a black man in a white world, I'm a black man in a white world))
I'm not wrong, I'm not wrong (I'm a black man in a white world, I'm a black man in a white world))
Oh it's alright, it's alright (I'm a black man in a white world, I'm a black man in a white world)
Oh it's alright (I'm a black man in a white world)

Oh it's alright (I'm a black man in a white world, I'm a black man in a white world)
It's alright (I'm a black man in a white world, I'm a black man in a white world)
(I'm a black man in a white world, I'm a black man in a white world)
(I'm a black man in a white world, I'm a black man in a white world)
(I'm a black man in a white world, I'm a black man in a white world)
(I'm a black man in a white world, I'm a black man in a white world)
(I'm a black man in a white world, I'm a black man in a white world)
(I'm a black man in a white world, I'm a black man in a white world)
(I'm a black man in a white world, I'm a black man in a white world)
(I'm a black man in a white world, I'm a black man in a white world)
(I'm a black man in a white world, I'm a black man in a white world)
(I'm a black man in a white world, I'm a black man in a white world)
(I'm a black man in a white world)
