Bruce Mack - Black People Tired Lyrics

Black People so tired, tired, tired
Sick and tired of this hate, hate, hate
Black People so tired, tired, tired
Of all this hate, hate, hate
I just don't know why it's taken us so long
To fight back!

We get killed for trying to save somebody
We get killed for being in our homes
We get killed for looking like somebody
We get killed for jogging alone
We get killed for speaking our minds
We get killed for upholding the law
We get killed for standing up for our rights
But I don't think we can take it no more

Black People so tired, tired, tired
Sick and tired of this hate, hate, hate
Black People so tired, tired, tired
Of all this hate, hate, hate
I just don't know why it's taken us so long
To fight back!

(Can you feel the pain?)
What is a human supposed to do
If you can't relate, it's because you're not in this picture
You ain't living in a real, real world (At least not in the one I live in)
You think I got it good 'cause I got a job
Ain't nobody pickin' on me
You got some kind of nerve if you think for one moment
I can't feel what my people feel.

Black People so tired, tired, tired
Sick and tired of this hate, hate, hate
Black People so tired, tired, tired
Of all this hate, hate, hate
I just don't know why it's taken us so long
To fight back!
