Wanna Be Black Lyrics by Hockey

Mind Chaos

0

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
