Black Boys On The Corner |
| «What you doin' man?» |
| «I think I’ll go on down the corner» |
| One of the black boys said «I need none of your pity» |
| It’s your mama that don’t like you loose in the city |
| But stick about, take note, take a tip and take no back lip |
| Come closer, let me see you snap your fingertip |
| Because standing on my corner just might suit ya |
| Or maybe, baby, there’s something else that you wanna do, yeah |
| Like rolling dice, nice |
| Like shooting pool, hey that’s cool |
| I’m a little black boy and I don’t know my place |
| I’m a little black boy and I just threw my ace |
| I’m a little black boy, recognize the face |
| One of the black boys said «I'm a-giving a warning» |
| «People been putting me down, I’m so tired I’m yawning» |
| A new suit, pretty boots to boot, I’m feeling slick, yeah |
| I’m gonna go to town, look around, pull a chick, yeah |
| Of course standing on the corner just might suit you |
| Or maybe, baby, there’s something else that you wanna do, yeak |
| Like playing poker, joker |
| Like to back a race, ace |
| I’m a little black boy and I don’t know my proper place |
| I’m a little black boy, get my head in it’s space |
| I’m a little black boy and I just play my bass |
| I’m a little black boy and I just threw my ace |
| I’m a little black boy, recognize the face |
