Black Lyrics by William Carr

2019

Black:
(What it means to be Black)
(What it means to be Poor)
(What it means to be Alive)
(What it means to be)
(Black, Black, Black, Black)
It means to be ebony
All the way to Ivory
And still, get anything you want
Taken from your soul
Taken from your home
And leave you there alone
And die alone
It means to be a winner
Though they try to label you
Another nigga
Nigga
But we're negus’
Negus'
Negus'
We’re kings and queens
We hold each other down
Even it seems there's no other way around our struggle
We fight and we tumble
And we get up
Cus' that's what it means
To be black
(What it means to be Black)
(What it means to be Poor)
(What it means to be Alive)
(What it means to be)
(Black, Black, Black, Black)
Black
(What it means to be)
What it means to be poor
(What it means to be poor)
What it means to be alive
(Whoo)
What it means to be
(Hee)
Black, Black, Black, Black
