Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Shy black boy who came to the city
To learn about life and how his people lost their way
He was very stubborn
He was just a child
And now his life is mystified
[Verse 2]
Black boy (Black boy)
Black boy (Black boy)
The color of your skin
Is your pride and joy
Black boy (Black boy)
Black boy (Black boy)
Your life is not destroyed
[Verse 3]
Didn't go to school 'cause they called him black boy
He hardly talked to the girls and boys
Don't be a fool, just obey the rules
And you'll just learn the truth
[Verse 4]
Black boy (Black boy)
Black boy (Black boy)
The color of your skin
Is your pride and joy
Black boy (Black boy)
Black boy (Black boy)
Your life is not destroyed
[Verse 5]
Someday you'll grow up to be a man
To live and learn and understand
Sticks and stones may break your bones
But names will never hurt you
[Verse 6]
You'll be the one who's havin' fun
So you just keep on learnin' on
[Verse 7]
Black boy (Black boy)
Black boy (Black boy)
The color of your skin
Is your pride and joy
Black boy (Black boy)
Black boy (Black boy)
Your life is not destroyed
Black boy (Black boy)
Black boy (Black boy)
The color of your skin
Is your pride and joy
Black boy (Black boy)
Black boy (Black boy)
Your life is not destroyed
[Verse 8]
Black boy (Black boy)
Black boy (Black boy)
Black boy (Black boy)
Black boy (Black boy)
