The-Dream - Black

Lyrics to Black by The-Dream

  [Hook] I feel real black right now Real black right now [Verse 1] I never knew you like I should've 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're getting out of 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] [Bridge] And I'll never be Mr. Madiba I'm gonna thank you the next time I see you You got me feeling real black right now Real black right now... [Verse 2] The oppression of a young Malcolm And shots rang out across the balcony the day we lost a dream To young to sing Marvin Gaye's "What's Going on" Since then ain't been a lot going on Enough pain can make a whole race bitter They say the right amount of love can heal us Reminiscing back when Hilfiger made us feel like n-ggas And that's the kind of thing that sticks with you I never felt this black... [Hook + Bridge] [Outro] Somebody take us home Take me home Let's go home Let's go home
