Lyrics

City don't give a goddamn bout a Black boy like me
(City don’t give a goddamn bout a Black boy like me)
City don’t give a goddamn bout a Black man like me
But the city damn near know dat dis pretty Black man go free
Never had a dollar to my name
Daddy never stuck around neither
Mother got her head down in shame
Never been avid reader, no
Walking, walking to the edge of town,
A satchel and smile drop yo knees down to the ground
Handsome
Pretty eyes make your wife and nem hawt,
I mean if I get up outta here this jukebox gone hop
City don't give a goddamn bout a Black boy like me
(City don’t give a goddamn bout a Black boy like me)
City don’t give a goddamn bout a Black man Like Me
But the city damn near know dat dis pretty Black man go free
Oooh wooo Black man go free
Oooh wooo Black man go free
Trains laid down a path,
A path I couldn’t see
These medals won’t ever change that they treating me rotten
This boy done chose war, he wasn’t no draftee
Souls that didn’t fall, we was forgotten
Walking
These steps leading me nowhere
Inkslinger lay heavy bout boyhood and blond hair
Got me in a space I’s never meant to be
Grey hair judge
Blue eyed cop
White faced jury
Walking
I, I thinkin’ bout that night
Exhibit one - my black skin cause threat upon my life
Force fed these words were never mine to swallow
Mama mama please don't let them take me to the gallows
Black boy like me ,city don’t give a goddamn
Take me to the gallows, mama, mama
Black boy like me, city don’t give a goddamn
Take me to the gallows
Mama mama
Mama mama
Mama mama
Mama mama please don't let them take me to the gallows
