I am the black man and you are the white 
I am the deviant and you're always right 
I am the darkness and you are the light 
I am the black man, you're the white 
Yeah I go, I'll be good living only if I'm dying, hide your head in your hand 
You hear no, see no, speak no no no, don't understand 
I am the blackness, I am the dark 
I am the alcoholic beast in the park 
I am the girl who sold her body to the dark 
I am the truth of it, you are the hypocrite 
I am the dirty and you are the clean 
I live in places where you've never been 
I eat the garbage and you eat the cream 
I am the dirty, you're the clean 
You kick me in the bus, get away of me and have been to me 
You hit me, kick me, tell me I am the grey Shirley 
I am the blackness, I am the dark 
I am the alcoholic beast in the park 
I am the girl who sold her body to the dark 
I am the truth of it, you are the hypocrite 
I am the white man and I paint you black 
I am the traitor, but I put you on the whack 
I am the coward and I shoot you in the back 
I am the white man, I paint you black 
Yeah, I am the good living only if I'm dying, hide my head in my hand 
I hear no, see no, speak no no no, don't understand 
I am the blackness, I am the dark 
I am the alcoholic beast in the park 
I am the girl who sold her body to the dark 
I am the truth of it, you are the hypocrite 
I am the blackness, I am the dark 
I am the alcoholic beast in the park 
I am the girl who sold her body to the dark 
I am the truth of it, you are the hypocrite
