Song lyrics
I feel real black right now,
Real black right now.
[Verse 1:]
I never knew you like I should've known you,
But my father spoke of you through that liquor,
Can we get a curtain call?
Let us pray your idea outlives you,
‘Cause everywhere there's a Chicago.
The only way we're getting' out of here is if we hit the lotto,
My mama left the incense burnin' on the dresser,
A hard way to learn one lesson.
She said never be impressed with a man with no message.
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
And I'll never be Mr. Madiba,
I'm gonna thank you the next time I see you.
You got me feelin' real black right now,
Real black right now.
[Verse 2:]
The oppression of a young Malcolm,
And shots rang out across the balcony the day we lost a dream,
To young to sing Marvin Gaye's ‘What's Going On',
Since then ain't been a lot goin' on.
Enough pain can make a whole race bitter,
They say the right amount of love can heal us.
Reminiscin' back when Hilfiger made us feel like niggas,
And that's the kind of thing that sticks with you.
I never felt this black.
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Somebody, take us home,
Take me home,
Let's go home,
Let's go home.
[Chorus]
