Phil Lynott - Ode To A Black Man Lyrics

If you see stevie wonder tell him I hear
If you hear stevie wonder tell him I see
I dont want no songs for plants
I want songs for me
I dont want no songs for plants
I want liberty living in the city

If you see the doctor tell him hes king, dr. martin luther
If you see the doctor tell him hes still king, you too muhammed ali
But this bad black boy wont be blown away by anything
Yes this bad black boy wont be blown away by anything

There are people in this town
That try to put me down
They say I dont give a damn
But the people in this town
That try to put me down
Are the people in the town
That could never understand a black man
Dont take it no more
Dont take it no more
Dont take it no more

There are people in the town
That try to put me down
They say I dont give a damn, damn
But the people in the town that try to put me down
Are the people in the town that could never understand a black man
Dont take it no more

If you see robert johnson, you too robert marley, robert mugabe
Now tell him I hear
If you see malcom tell him Im next, vexed
If you see jimi, jimi hendrix
If you see my brothers tell them its clear
Ive been living on the wrong side
Now I hear
Dont take it no more
I dont take it no more
Mr. joshua nkomo
Dont take it no more
Jomo kenyatta, oh no
Dont take it no more
Haile selassi, rastafarian
Dont take it no more
Professor longhair
Dont take it no more
