Another angry black man

Lying awake in a home that is a cell
Lives another black man with the same sad story to tell
About an outside world that seems to get it wrong
First it crushes the weak and then crucifies the strong

Cuz the world seems to work in a funny kind of way
Put Mumia in jail and then throw the key away
While the guilty folk keep walking down the street
Safe in the knowledge that white folk don't want to meet

Another angry black man
Another angry black man
Another angry black man
Another angry black man

Turn the rock over and you're bound to see the ground
Looking through the closet with no one else around
Turn the sheet over and you're bound to see the stain
Just look a little closer and you're bound to see the name

Another angry black man
