Black Lyrics - The-dream

I feel real black now, real black right now 

I never knew you like I should have 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 gettin' outta here is if we hit the lotto 

My mama left the incense burning on the dresser 

A hard way to learn one lesson 

She said never be impressed with a man with no message 

I feel real black now, real black right now 

And I will never be mr. Madiba 

I'mma thank you the next time I see ya 

You got me feelin' real black right now, real black right now 

The oppression of a young Malcom 

And shots rained out across the balcony the day we lost a dream 

To young to sing Marvin Gaye's 'What's going on?' 

Since then it ain't been a lot going on 

Enough pain could make a whole race bitter 

They say the right amount of love can heal us 

Reminiscing back when Hilfinger made us feel like niggas 

And that's the kind of thing that sticks with you 

I never felt this black 

I feel real black now, real black right now x3 

And I will never be mr. Madiba 

I'mma thank you the next time I see ya 

You got me feelin' real black right now, real black right now 

(Interlude) 

Somebody take us home 

Take me home 

Let's go home 

Let's go home 

You got me feelin' real black right now, real black right now x4 

Somebody take us home
