Black people gotta 
lot a problems
    C
But they don't mind

White people go to school

All the powers in the hands
   C                     G
Of people rich enough to buy it
G
While we walk the street
    C               G
Too chicken to even try it
C
Everybody's doing just 
A
what they're told to
C               E
Nobody wants to go to jail
