Black Boy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was at a bus station, you know I met a little boy
A thing the boy told me gave me a strange kind of joy
"Mister we just integrated", ooh, yeah, you know
"I'm the only black boy in the school where I go"

[Refrain]
Well, well, well, well, well

[Verse 2]
"My teacher asked me just the other day
To say the preamble for the United States
Oh, I said it, yes, I did, the best that I could
Oh, my teacher said: ’Don, that's very good'"

[Refrain]
Well, well, well, well, well
Listen

[Verse 3]
"As I started to take my seat
I asked the teacher ’Was it also for me?'
The class busted and laughed up, I hung my head in shame
Oh, my teacher came over and took me by my hand"

[Refrain]
Well, well, well, well, well

[Verse 4]
"Let me tell you, I heard her say
'Don, your darkest hour, you know is just before day'"
I can't say Don's teacher was wrong
But, what I wanna know, is why it's taken so long

[Refrain]
Well, well, well, well, well

[Outro]
Well, well, well, well, well
Well, well, well, well, well
