THE-DREAM - Black lyrics

rate me

(Intro)

I feel real black now, real black right now

(Verse)

I never knew you like I should have known you

But my father spoke of you through that liquor

Can we get a curtain call?

Let us pray your idea outlives you

Cause everywhere there's a Chicago

The only way we gettin' outta here is if we hit the lotto

My mama left the incense burning on the dresser

A hard way to learn one lesson

She said never be impressed with a man with no message

(Hook)

I feel real black now, real black right now

And I will never be mr. Madiba

I'mma thank you the next time I see ya

You got me feelin' real black right now, real black right now

(Verse)

The oppression of a young Malcom

And shots rained out across the balcony the day we lost a dream

To young to sing Marvin Gaye's 'What's going on?'

Since then it ain't been a lot going on

Enough pain could make a whole race bitter

They say the right amount of love can heal us

Reminiscing back when Hilfinger made us feel like niggas

And that's the kind of thing that sticks with you

I never felt this black

(Hook)

I feel real black now, real black right now x3

And I will never be mr. Madiba

I'mma thank you the next time I see ya

You got me feelin' real black right now, real black right now

(Interlude)

Somebody take us home

Take me home

Let's go home

Let's go home

(Hook)

You got me feelin' real black right now, real black right now x4

Somebody take us home
