Abyssinians - Black Man's Strain

Why, why, why, oh yeah now
Must the black man strain?
Why people, must he sweat and strain?

He toil each day, from dawn till dusk (yes how true)
Tryin' to achieve (yes how true)
The little he can (we know how true)
But just can't make it (how really true)
I wonder what's wrong (we know how true)
What's wrong now (how really true)
Tell me, what's wrong?

Why, why, must the black man strain?
I really wanna know, people, now
Must he sweat and strain?

Must he sweat and strain?

Tell me, tell me, must the black man strain?
I really wanna know, people, now
Must he sweat and strain?
