Look at me, can't you see my father?
You can't mistake me for my brother.
I don't care a damn for what he's done. No no,
All I know, I ain't the one.
Turn your dogs the other way,
'Cause they won't get no bait today.
Man, you know you're on your own.
So let me be, man,
Get along, get along,
Move along!
... on on on on on on.
On, on on on on on on.
I just want to live my life my own way,
Just live peacefully from day to day.
I don't want nobody by my side, no, no,
I don't need no light to be my guide,
'Cause I'm black the people say,
I'm gonna bow down to you and pray.
Man, I'd rather lay down and die,
Than live like, some dirty pig,
In some dirty, rotten sty!
... ai yi yi yi ai ai.
Ai, ai yi ai yi ai ai.
'Cause I'm black some people say,
I'm gonna bow down to you and pray.
Man, I'd rather lay down and die,
Than live like, some dirty pig,
In some dirty, rotten sty!
... ai yi yi yi yi ai.
Ai, ai yi yi yi yi yi.
Ai, yi yi yi yi yi ai.
No, no no no no no no.
'Cause I'm black some people say,
I'm gonna bow down to you and pray.
Man, I'd rather lay down and die,
Than live like, some dirty pig,
In some dirty, rotten sty!
... ai yi yi yi yi yi.
Ai, yi yi yi yi ai ai.
No, no no no no no no.
I ain't gonna do that!
'Cause I'm black some people say,
I'm gonna bow down to you and pray.
Man, I'd rather lay down and die,
Than live like, some dirty pig,
In some dirty, rotten sty!
... yi yi yi yi yi yi.
Ai, ai yi yi yi yi ai.
No, no no no no no no.
I ain't gonna do that!
You can bet your life...
