Everybody got the right to speak their mind
   So don't shoot me for saying mine
   Everybody talking about racial equality
   'Cos everybody's equal in the good Lord's eyes
   But if I told you that God was black
   What would you think of that
   I bet you wouldn't believe it
  
   There's a self made prophet living right next to me
   He said the Black Messiah's gonna come and set the whole world free
   He looked at me with his evil eye and prophesied
   And he really believed it
  
   He said a Black Messiah is gonna set the world on fire
   And he's no liar, 'cos he has truly heard the word
   Everybody talking about racial equality
   But I'm the only honky living on an all black street
   They knock me down 'cos they brown and I white
  
   Everybody got the right to speak their mind
   So don't shoot me for saying mine
   Everyobody talking about racial equality
   You hear everybody talking about equal rights
   But white's white, black's black and that's that
   And that's the way you should leave it
  
   Don't want no Black Messiah to come and set the world on fire
   A Black Messiah is gonna come and rule the world
   Everybody got to show a little give and take
   Everybody got to live with a little less hate
   Everybody gotta work it out, we gotta sort it out
   Everbody got the right to speak their mind
   So don't shoot me for saying mine
