Fourteen shades of brown

The dark brown shades of my skin,
only add colour to my tears,
That splash against my hollow bones,
and rocks my soul,
Looking back over my false dreams,
That i once knew,
Wondering why my dreams never came true,
Cuz something is holding you back,
Is it because im black?..
so tell me this,what am i to do?,
Because something is holding you back..

                                 -Syl Johnson "is it because i'm black?"( 1968)
