Black Boy Lyrics by Coloured Stone

Black Boy (artist: Coloured Stone)

1984

[Verse 1]
A shy Black boy, you came to the city
To learn about life and now his people lost their lives
His parents died when he was just a child
And now his life is mystified
[Chorus 1]
Black boy, Black boy
Black boy, Black boy
The colour of your skin is your pride & joy
Black boy, Black boy
Black boy, Black boy
Your life is not destroyed
[Verse 2]
He 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
‘Cause you'll just learn the truth
[Chorus 2]
Black boy, Black boy
Black boy, Black boy
The colour of your skin is your pride & joy
Black boy, Black boy
Black boy, Black boy
Your life is not destroyed
[Verse 3]
And one day you'll grow up to be a man
To learn and live and understand
Sticks and stones may break your bones
But names will never hurt you
You'll be the one who's having fun
So you just keep on learning on
[Chorus 3]
Black boy, Black boy
Black boy, Black boy
The colour of your skin is your pride & joy
Black boy, Black boy
Black boy, Black boy
Your life is not destroyed
