[Verse 1]
Now let me begin
There’s people in the world that get under my skin
Cos people in the world can’t get over my skin
From within I’ve been struggling to win
I’m struggling to grin they think I’m running into sin
They put a wall between us like we Berlin
So I wish like a Djin, to be out of this thing
Cos the looks and the treatment is wearing so thin
[Hook]
Look out, there’s a black man coming
People in wheelchairs get up and start running
Grab your bags, grab your purses, grab something
Run and find a hiding place, quick there’s one coming
[Verse 1]
It’s so stunning, it’s mind numbing
When I walk into a club they thought I brought a gun in
I’m resisting shunning, all my fellow people
It’s just the way it is so I gotta keep all
My feelings inside, it’s not what I prefer
Walk into a shop, can I help you sir?
I just came in to explore
But you can tell that guard to stop following me round the store
[HOOK]
Look out, there’s a black man coming
People in wheelchairs get up and start running
Grab your bags, grab your purses, grab something
Run and find a hiding place, quick there’s one coming
[Verse 2]
Second verse, I’m rehearsed, now I’m immersed
Gotta burst this curse before worse comes to hearse
Am I the first to recognise this travesty?
We’re self contained, self concerned
Trapped in a mentality and clarity’s
Black like a cavity, reality’s a parody
Please forgive the gravity
Of my lyric, I’m tired and sick of walking these bricks
Then people cross the road like they think I’m manic
Gripping bags to their chest
I’m Not gonna rob you
Should I wear a sign to put minds at rest?
I feel depressed cos it’s right in front of my face
How can I win a case when it’s based on race?
[Hook]
Look out, there’s a black man coming
People in wheelchairs get up and start running
Grab your bags, grab your purses, grab something
Run and find a hiding place, quick there’s one coming
I said, look out, there’s a black man coming
People in wheelchairs get up and start running
Grab your bags, grab your purses, grab something
Run and find a hiding place, quick there’s one coming
[Verse 3]
Tarred with the same brush, I’m in no rush
I reach minds with each mic I crush
Can I flush greed and take a new lead
I’ll make my own creed
Yep, yep I’m the new breed
So I’ll never concede, in this fight
It’s hard to explain and it’s not black and white
It’s not black and white?
Nah bruv there’s Asians
And impatience makes altercations
Truth creations by those in control
We see what they want, the skin not the soul
Just to feel whole must I act less than black?
Wear a suit, not a hood, won’t get attacked
I’m not a piece of faeces
A new species or a thief, please
I’m a human being I’m just me
Watch the way I act, not just my colour
Not all of us attack, there’s no need to run star
[Hook]
Look out, there’s a black man coming
People in wheelchairs get up and start running
Grab your bags, grab your purses, grab something
Run and find a hiding place, quick there’s one coming
Now let me begin
There’s people in the world that get under my skin
Cos people in the world can’t get over my skin
