I Am A Man

by Khristiana Parchman, Darryl Easley, Devin Portis (B.Slade)

VERSE 1

These hands have been bruised

My soul’s (been) misused

All my life I been paying dues

We take the garbage off the streets

But Is that all you think of me?

What you should see, When you look at me,

Is I am a man

Verse 2

My feet, worn and tired

been working overtime

We unionize but

When Jim don’t pay me right

Mmmm

CHORUS

I just can’t get no peace

So we march in your streets

We refuse to clean

In the land of the free

I am I am

Can’t get no peace

So we march in your streets

We refuse to clean

Just so you can see

I am I am

BRIDGE

No I can’t change my skin, but you can change your heart

I’m not invisible

We’re all the same under God

We live, we live, we work in danger everyday.

And I don’t know how much more I can take

See I, I can’t, things can’t

Remain the same!

CHORUS

I just can’t get no peace

So we march in your streets

We refuse to clean

In the land of the free

I am I am

Can’t get no peace

So we march in your streets

We refuse to clean

Just so you can see

I am I am
