Black Man's Strain
Breaking Chains: The Struggle Within
Lyrics
Why, why, why, oh yeah now,
Questioning the reason or cause
Must the black man strain?
Asking why the black man has to face challenges and difficulties
Why people, must he sweat and strain?
Expressing curiosity about why the black man experiences hard work and exertion
He toil each day
Describing the daily labor and effort
From dawn 'til dusk (yes a true)
Highlighting the duration of work from morning until evening
Tryin' to achieve (yes a true)
Attempting to attain something
The little he can (we know a true)
Striving for limited achievements or resources
But just can't make it (a really true)
Expressing the inability to succeed despite efforts
I wonder what's wrong (we know a true)
Pondering the cause of the struggle
What's wrong now? (a really true)
Reiterating the query about the problem
Tell me, what's wrong...
Seeking an explanation for the difficulty
Why, why must the black man strain?
Repeating the query about the necessity of the black man's struggle
I really wanna know people, now
Expressing a sincere desire to understand
Must he sweat and strain?
Questioning the reason for the black man's hard work
He toil each day
Restating the description of daily labor and effort
From dawn 'til dusk (yes a true)
Emphasizing the duration of continuous work
Tryin' to achieve (yes a true)
Striving to achieve a specific goal
The little he can (we know a true)
Pursuing limited aspirations
But just can't make it (a really true)
Expressing frustration at the inability to succeed
I wonder what's wrong (we know a true)
Reflecting on the cause of the ongoing struggle
What's wrong now? (a really true)
Reiterating the query regarding the problem
Tell me, what's wrong...
Asking for an explanation or reason
Why, why must the black man strain?
Repeating the question about the black man's necessity to struggle
I really wanna know people, now
Expressing a sincere desire to understand
Must he sweat and strain?
Questioning the reason for the black man's hard work
Tell me, tell me
Requesting an answer or clarification
Must the black man strain?
Repeating the question about the necessity of the black man's struggle
I really wanna know people, now
Expressing a sincere desire to understand
Must he sweat and strain?
Questioning the reason for the black man's hard work
