Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
My [D]light [G]skin [D]is [Em]a thin disguise I can[C]
blend [G]in [D]an d [Em]no one gets wise
[C]I can infil[G]trate a shopping mall
[D]Do most any[Em]thing at all
[C]Rent a c[G]ar, book a r[D]oom, not be notic[Em]ed,
questioned or [C]presumed
I'll be [G]dismissed as no threat
[D]They think [Em]I'm on their side,
[C]that I'm here [G]to uphold
Some [D]kind of west[Em]ern lifestyle
[C]I won't rock t[G]he boat,
[D]but no one [Em]can see
[C]My sacred heart, [D]I k[Em]eep it under my sleeve,
I don't let it [C]show, [G]unless I'm in the[D] right company.
When a black man [C]speaks [D]of
love [Em]for his native land
My sacred [C]heart [G]feels [D]the same
Some [G]people look at [D]me,
tell me I [Em]don't belong
[C]They say I'm from an[G]other country
[D]Even though it's [Em]here
I was born [C]in the need [G]to identify
[D]As specia[Em]l and unique
[C]Wise and sep[G]arate from all we [D]share
And [Em]all we s[C]hould keep
My secret [D]heart
Some[Em]times it makes me speak,
it brings [C]me trouble, an[G]d I've taken t[D]he heat
But when I sing [C]for [D]this land,
my secret [Em]heart is in your hands
My secret [C]heart [G]is in your hand
[D]s[Am][D][Am]
[D][C]
[Am]This [G]mainstream [D]life can
[Em]choke from the in[C]side
No I don't [G]wanna be a [Dm]mate,
it won't [Em]change
what's fake
[C]When nobody [G]raises their [D]eyes,
they'd rather
[Em]Check their [C]device
Then [Gm]make a [Bbaug]hu man connection
[Em]My s[C]ecret heart
[D]I kee[Em]p it under my sleeve
I don't let [C]it slip
[G]In [D]the wrong company
But when a black man [C]speaks
[D]Of love for[Em] this sacred land
My secret heart [C]feels[G]
[D]the same[Am][D][C]
You
