Black Boy
[Verse 1:]
Shy black boy who came to the city
To learn about life and how his people lost their way
He was very stubborn, he was just a child
And now his life is mystified

[Chorus:]
Black boy
(black boy)
Black boy
(black boy)
The colour of your skin is your pride and joy
Black boy
(black boy)
Black boy
(black boy)
Your life is not destroyed

ba da dum, (ba da dum)
ba da dum, (ba da dum)
ba dum, da dada dada dad dada dum x2
[Verse 2:]
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
And you'll just learn the truth

[Chorus}
Black boy
(black boy)
Black boy
(black boy)
The colour of your skin is your pride and joy
Black boy
(black boy)
Black boy
(black boy)
Your life is not destroyed

ba da dum, (ba da dum)
ba da dum, (ba da dum)
ba dum, da dada dada dad dada dum x2

[Verse 3:]
Some day you'll grown up to ba man
To live and look 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:]
Black boy
(black boy)
Black boy
(black boy)
The colour of your skin is your pride and joy
Black boy
(black boy)
Black boy
(black boy)
Your life is not destroyed

[Chorus:]
Black boy
(black boy)
Black boy
(black boy)
The colour of your skin is your pride and joy
Black boy
(black boy)
Black boy
(black boy)
Your life is not destroyed

[Outro:]
Black boy
(black boy)
Black boy
(black boy)
