Strong Black Man Like You

by Samuel Black

Where are you going …
Why are you leaving…
Stay and jump the broom with me
Let’s do it together as a family
Doing it as one, we won’t fall
Strong Black Man like you

Where are you going…
Why are you leaving…
Stay and throw the rope with me
All the way over the house 
Let’s pull it to our side together
Strong Black Man like you

Where are you going…
Why are you leaving…
What? These kids belong to you
The man has nothing with this
Ain’t nothing splitting this family
Be the strong Black Man you are

Where are you going?
Why are you leaving?
You stay here and love me
This is 2005 not 1825
Stand up and be the strong Black Man
You are supposed to be. 
Rise up Black Man!
