The Last Poets - Just Because lyrics

Just because you're black Just because you're black You say you don't want to die because (Justice) I don't want to die because (Justice) You say you don't want to die Because there's no cause to die for Now what would cause you to say that? Is it because you have a good job And a home in the suburbs? Or is it because you wear pink and yellows Causing all the women To scream from a cause unknown? Just because you're seemingly satisfied That's no cause To forget who is the cause Of black people being exploited and depressed There have been many causes men have chosen to die for But many black men are dying for a cause And because you think there's no cause to die for Malcolm, [?], Martin, all died because they knew What was the cause Causing all of us to be exploited and depressed I hope you get a cause to die for soon Because you're going to die anyway Just because you're black Yes, I hope you get right soon So there won't be anything causing me to die Because you didn't believe in our cause n******gs and negroes, listen to this It's glorious to die for a cause But not because
