Lyrics: Message From A Black Man

[Melvin:] Yes, my skin is black, But that's no reason to hold me back [Eddie:] Why don't you think about it, Think about it, think about it, think about it, Think about it... I have wants and desires, Just like you So move on the side 'Cause I'm comin' through, oh! [Temptations:] No matter how hard you try You can't stop me now [Eddie and Temptations:] No matter how hard you try You can't stop me now, oooh... [Melvin:] Yes, your skin is white... Does that make you right? [Eddie:] Why don't you think about it, Think about it, think about it, think about it, Think about it... This is a message A message to y'all, Together we stand, Divided we fall, oh! [Dennis:] Black is a color Just like white, Tell me how can a color determine whether You're wrong or right, We all have our faults... Yes we do [Eddie:] So look in your mirror [Temptations:] Look in the mirror [Eddie:] What do you see? [Temptations:] What do you see? [Eddie:] Two eyes, [Temptations:] Two eyes, [Eddie:] A nose, and a mouth just like me, oh! [Eddie:] Your eyes are open But you refuse to see, The laws of society Were made for both you and me, Because of my color, I struggle to be free Sticks and stones, May break my bones But in the end, You're gonna' see my friend, oh! [Temptations:] No matter how hard you try You can't stop me now [Instrumental Break] [Temptations:] No matter how hard you try You can't stop me now [Temptations:] Say it loud! No matter how hard you try You can't stop me now [Temptations:] Say it loud! No matter how hard you try You can't stop me now [Temptations:] Say it! No matter how hard you try You can't stop me now [Temptations:] Say it loud! No matter how hard you try You can't stop me now [Temptations:] Say it loud! [Dennis:] I'm black and I'm proud! [Temptations:] No matter how hard you try You can't stop me now [Temptations:] Say it loud! [Dennis:] I'm black and I'm proud! [Temptations:] No matter how hard you try You can't stop me now [Fade to end]
