Black Boy

[Verse 1]
Black boy
Don't you cry
I've heard this song my whole life
What about me
What about you
Why should we try if we always lose
Now delicate things
Float in the sky
It's time that we realize

[Chorus]
They don't care about us
No they don't
They don't care about us
And they won't
I know you've gotta stress 'bout the future
But know I don't wanna lose ya
Black boy
Black boy

[Verse 2]
Black girl
I see those eyes
And I'm wondering how this is real life
What about love
What about truth
All of the things that I see in you
I'm praying at night
I'm hoping the light
Will help us realize

[Chorus]
They don't care about us
No they don't
They don't care about us
And they won't
I know you've gotta stress 'bout the future
But know I don't wanna lose ya
Black girl
Black girl

[Bridge]
We try and we fight
Through the night
Heaven knows
But I hope you might
Love yourself
Like I love you

[Verse 3]
Black girl
Don't you cry
Your brother weeps all night
I pray for you
I always do
Hope that God sees us through

[Outro]
Black girl
Black girl
Black girl
