"Black Boys On The Corner" Lyrics

5.0 / 5
Song updated, review now!
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, take no back lip.
Come a closer let me see you snap your fingertip.

Because standing on my corner just might suit you,
Or maybe baby there's something else that you wanna do,

I like rolling dice, nice.
I 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 and 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.

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 its space.
I'm a little black boy, I just play my bass.
I'm a little black boy, it's no disgrace.
