Sevendust - Black Lyrics






Voices call, they call out my name, my name, my name.
Well, they say I'm different. Well I'm not the same, same.
You say you want to, ah, be like me.
Well, boy let me tell ya, you don't know what I've seen.

They say a devil lives in my soul.
I promise not to let him take control.

I'm mindin' my own business.
I ain't doin' nothin' wrong. [repeat]

Shadows follow so close behind me.
I look in the mirror; I don't like what I see.
Oh, God, can't you help me get outta here, here?
I feel like I'm livin' deep in hell.

I'm mindin' my own business.
I ain't doin' nothin' wrong. [repeat]

I said that,
I.. I'm mindin', I'm mindin' my own, own
I ain't doin' nothin' wrong. [repeat]
Nothing wrong.

  1. j.... m....

    This song almost sounds like BLS

  2. K.... a....

    song made me orgasm

  3. R.... W....

    Brings me back to my 2k days partying and remembering nothing the next day!

  4. D.... T....

    2020 here we go...

  5. J.... G....

    2020 and still sounds hot enough to top the charts today

  6. J.... S....

    I wish they would make an album like this again. I would pop this disk in whenever I was close to loosing my shit and doing something I knew I would regret. Can't explain why but listening to it helped me mellow out and think it through. Pretty good to listen to even after I lost my shit and did the regrettable things as well lol.

  7. E.... H....

    DAMN I THOUGHT THEY WERE ON THE RAP SIDE OF NU METAL BUT THIS IS ONE HELL OF A SONG TO KICK ASS TO.!!!!!!!!!

  8. D.... ....

  13. M.... ....

    I was 14 when I first got into hard rock/heavy metal in 1999. I first saw Lajon Witherspoon in the video for Denial and had a huge crush on him. I've been a fan ever since.

  14. J.... B....

    I clicked Like and it rolled over into 9K :)

  15. W.... G....

    Cant believe this only has 1.5m views. These guys were way underrated and put on a great live show

  16. I.... P....

    Lajon probably has one of the most badass voices in the metal scene. And he's not even trying

  17. D.... ....

    They suck even harder in 2019

  18. J.... M....

    Great record!!! 😎👌

  19. A.... M....

    Fuck yeah, I remember listening to it as a teen.....shit is jamin!!#!

  20. A.... N....

    Lejon lesson of the day: play by the rules and still kick ass.

  21. m.... j....

  22. J.... T....

    Anyone else think of RVD at the beginning?

    J.... T....

    Yeah I could see it. Mr Monday night.

  23. T.... D....

    2020. I was there back then. Still on it

  24. y.... d....

    ANYONE ELSE REMEMBER....... NATIONAL ANTHEM OF THE GUMDROP KINGDOM?????????? 7D WILL LIVE ON FOREVER AS ONE OF THE BEST

  25. R.... M....

    came out in 1997 (10yrs before I was born) and I'm still digging it in 2019. Love the heaviness and energy of Nu Metal/Alt. Metal music.

    R.... M....

    I was slamming thus in highschool.......... STILL DO. Over 20 years and still epic

    R.... M....

    You have good taste. Nice to know the younger generations still listen.

    R.... M....

    @you dont know me Yep. My dad loves alt. metal and I ended up liking his hard rock & Heavy metal as well.

  26. m.... ....

    This song gets my blood pumping every time I hear it. Cheers to those listening from the beginning!!

  27. I.... ....

    Don't listen to too much of their catalogue but this song is the bomb

  28. K.... S....

    Ozzfest .... Sevendust kills it made me a fan for life

  29. H.... ....

    “I look in the mirror, I don’t like what I see.”

    H.... ....

    Story of my life

    H.... ....

    Break the mirror

    H.... ....

    That's what I tell myself.

    H.... ....

    @DONT TREAD ON ME !!! the mirror would break itself.

  30. a.... D....

    F... Yeah , missing the 90's !

  31. 7.... ....

    4 those who dont know, John Wrote this song by himself b4 7d formed! And yes its about racism goes 2 show J dont just write. 4 himself but 4 everyone This is Why Lajon luved it because he related n convinced John to not get rid of it n put it on the 7d record!

  32. B.... K....

    If I was his son I wouldn't do anything to make him mad. I just wouldn't want to hear him yelling at me. That would be scary

  33. T.... F....

    Heard this along back in 99 from the music videos at the end of the strangeland vhs. Download as many of their songs off Napster that night. Dial up modem so we're talking 5 songs tops lmao. Been listening to them ever since.

  34. T.... B....

    What happened to them???

  35. C.... R....

    SevenDust one of the best songs they rock

  36. A.... W....

    Blew me away

  37. J.... F....

    CAN YOU HERE ME WOODSTOCK

  38. t.... ....

    FUCKIN MORGANNNNNNNNN

  39. K.... ....

    22 years later and this song still hits hard.

    So much meaning, power and passion concentrated in a single track.

  40. S.... P....

    I remember meeting these guy's at a sepultura concert in line and they gave me a cassette demo of bitch and black on it and within a year or so I seen them on the main stage with slipknot,slayer, and sepultura at tattoo the earth festival! Well fucking done boys!

  41. r.... t....

    God I love this band!

  42. H.... B....

    I fucking love this so much.

  43. T.... T....

    After this long this song is still fresh . Most of these cookie cutter pop songs today wont last even a decade

  44. T.... T....

    Great song . Definitely in a time capsule. Where has the time gone? Would love to see some more hard core metal bands with a black lead singer . Or all black . Its unique and would be cool to see . Sevendust did it right.

  45. L.... M....

    This song made me fall in love with the late 90s Nu Metal scene once again. It just came to my mind, that there was just basically so many great bands putting out super cool albums. Sevendust, Puddle of Mudd, Godsmack, Staind, Saliva, Incubus, Snot, Deftones, Soulfly, Mudvayne and the list would go on and on!

  88. R.... H....

    Free show in Dallas

    Voices call, they call out my name, (my name, my name)
    They say I'm different well I'm not the same (the same) 
    You say you want
    To be like me (like me, like me) 
    Well boy let me tell you, 
    You didn't know what I've seen

    They say the devil 
    Lives in my soul
    (my soul, my soul)
    I promise not to let him 
    Take control

    I'm minding 
    My own business
    I ain't doing
    Nothing wrong
    I ain't doing
    Nothing wrong

    Shadows follow 
    So close behind me
    I look in the mirror 
    I don't like what I see

    Oh God, Can't you help me
    Get out of here?
    (here, here)

    I feel like I'm living
    Deep in hell

    I'm minding 
    My own business
    I ain't doing 
    Nothing wrong

    I'm minding 
    My own business 
    I ain't doing
    Nothing wrong

    I'm minding, 
    I'm minding my own
    I ain't doing 
    Nothing wrong
    I ain't doing

    Stroudsburg, Pa. Sherman theater, can't wait!!

  94. R.... L....

    I had the honor of meeting them a few times. Once at WAAF in Boston when I was 17, and a few times since. I even hung around with them for a bit too. Seriously the most down to earth people ever, and their music never gets old, it just gets better!!!!!

  95. M.... J....

    I saw this band in the 90s at a festival. The fucking singer climbed up on the scaffolding while singing this song and told the audience to lock their arms and he fucking dove off it singing and landed on his back on the crowd who surged him back to the stage. Will never forget it.

  96. S.... S....

    Do not play this song while driving. You will speed

  97. b.... r....

    Is it wrong that I associate this song rather strongly with the Legendary fire Pokemon Entei?

    b.... r....

    bludrk returns not at all. I actually associate this with Pokémon Hentai. A bit different but same

  98. K.... B....

    2019 anyone :-)

  99. S.... ....

    FUCK YES!!!!!

  100. C.... S....

    The start of Pro Tools really taking over the recording world especially with Nu Metal bands.

    C.... S....

    Cosmic Surfer interesting observation
