Black Man's Strain Lyrics


Why, why, why, oh yeah now,
Must the black man strain?
Why people, must he sweat and strain?
He toil each day
From dawn 'til dusk (yes a true)
Tryin' to achieve (yes a true)
The little he can (we know a true)
But just can't make it (a really true)
I wonder what's wrong (we know a true)
What's wrong now? (a 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?
He toil each day

From dawn 'til dusk (yes a true)
Tryin' to achieve (yes a true)
The little he can (we know a true)
But just can't make it (a really true)
I wonder what's wrong (we know a true)
What's wrong now? (a 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?
Tell me, tell me
Must the black man strain?
I really wanna know people, now
Must he sweat and strain?

The Abyssinians are roots reggae group from Jamaica, famous for their close harmonies and promotion of the Rastafari movement in their lyrics. The vocal trio was originally formed in 1969 by Bernard Collins, Donald Manning and Linford Manning. Their most famous songs are Satta Massagana and Y Mas Gan, both of which are delivered partially in the Ethiopian language of Amharic. This language is sacred to Rastafarians as they believe the last Emperor of Ethiopia, Haile Selassie I, to be the Christ in flesh.
