Wanna Be Black

On the streets'

I never could realize what was the problem

Oh no

Why am i getting cut out this way?

Oh I just couldn't see

My leather coat, (?)

Or who's looking at me

No

I couldn't pull it off

The world could stay looking just how it would like

Without looking left or right

And it goes;

When I was young

I only wanted to be black

And I would have payed

To weigh a word I won and still relax

Oh

What's your plans for the night?

Indeed up at the no, (?)

I'll get on my face gear. (?)

Ah

And purple or black ties;

Your dressed just right

For your decade, true

Your dressed just right

For your age

What used to be a stage is just a phase now

You're not going up through life

Yeah, slowly just like changing channels on your TV

That's not how its supposed to be

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

And it goes:

When I was young

I only wanted to be black

And I woulda payed

To weigh a word I won and still relax. (?)

Oh

And everyone

At the time

Was only classic then

Only classic then

And everyone

At this time

Is only classic now

Only classic now

What kind of accomplishment is a throw back?

I was the first one to prefer that

Everyone's making dance music, true

But we started in 2002

So what the future don't appeal to you?

Well no one's supposed to enjoy the shoes

When I was young yeah, I wore 'em to school

But I had 'em only like something to lose

You got your eyes on an owl, (?)

Your fashionable goals

You can never make it

Oh no

Anyway who could pull it off

When everything casts as the future

Or retro?

I got beat up for my clothes

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

And it goes:

When I was young

I only wanted to be black

And I woulda payed

To weigh a word I won and still relax. (?)

Oh And everyone

At the time

Was only classic then

Only classic then

And everyone

At this time

Is only classic now

Only classic now
