Melvin: Yes, my skin is black,
But that's no reason to hold me back
Eddie: Why don't you think about it,
Think about it, think about it, think about it,
Think about it...
I have wants and desires,
Just like you
So move on the side
'Cause I'm comin' through, oh!
Temptations: No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
Eddie and Temptations: No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now, oooh...
Melvin: Yes, your skin is white...
Does that make you right?
Eddie: Why don't you think about it,
Think about it, think about it, think about it,
Think about it...
This is a message
A message to y'all,
Together we stand,
Divided we fall, oh!
Dennis: Black is a color
Just like white,
Tell me how can a color determine whether
You're wrong or right,
We all have our faults...
Yes we do
Eddie: So look in your mirror
Temptations: Look in the mirror
Eddie: What do you see?
Temptations: What do you see?
Eddie: Two eyes,
Temptations: Two eyes,
Eddie: A nose, and a mouth just like me, oh!
Eddie: Your eyes are open
But you refuse to see,
The laws of society
Were made for both you and me,
Because of my color,
I struggle to be free
Sticks and stones,
May break my bones
But in the end,
You're gonna' see my friend, oh!
Temptations: No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
(chorus repeated several times through music, or "the bridge")
(after a few minutes, above chorus is repeated
as song nears end, and then...)
Temptations: Say it loud!
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
Temptations: Say it loud!
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
Temptations: Say it!
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
Temptations: Say it loud!
No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
Temptations: Say it loud!
Dennis: I'm black and I'm proud!
Temptations: No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
Temptations: Say it loud!
Dennis: I'm black and I'm proud!
Temptations: No matter how hard you try
You can't stop me now
fade to end
Der musikalische text MESSAGE FROM A BLACK MAN von THE TEMPTATIONS ist auch in dem Album vorhanden Puzzle people (1969)
The Temptations sono un gruppo vocale statunitense formatosi a Detroit, Michigan, nel 1960. Considerati uno dei gruppi soul più influenti di tutti i tempi, hanno contribuito in modo significativo allo sviluppo del genere Motown Sound, una fusione di R and B, pop e rock psichedelico. Il loro stile distintivo è caratterizzato da armonie vocali impeccabili, coreografie sincronizzate e testi che esplorano temi come l'amore, la perdita e la speranza. Tra i brani più celebri dei Temptations figurano "My Girl", "Ain't Too Proud to Beg", "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)" e "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone". Il gruppo ha venduto oltre 100 milioni di dischi in tutto il mondo, ottenendo numerosi premi e riconoscimenti, tra cui un posto nella Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nel 1989. La formazione originale comprendeva Otis Williams, Eddie Kendricks, Paul Williams, Melvin Franklin e David Ruffin. Nel corso degli anni, la band ha visto diverse rotazioni di membri, ma Otis Williams è rimasto l'unico membro originale fino alla sua scomparsa nel 2023.
