Black Boys on the Corner lyrics

What you do man?

I think I'm going down the corner

One of the black boys said

"I need none of your pity"

It's your mama that don't

Like you loose in the city

But stick about, take note

Take a tip, take no back lip

Come come a little closer

Let me see you snap your fingertip

Because standing on the corner

Just might suit you or maybe baby

There's something else you wanna do

Like rolling dice, nice

Like shooting pool, hey that's cool

I'm a little black boy and I don't know my place

I'm just a little black boy, I just threw my ace

I'm a little black boy, recognize my face

One of the black boys said

"I'm a giving a warning"

"People been putting me down"

"I'm so tired I'm yawning"

A new suit, pretty boots to boot

And I'm feeling slick

Gonna go to town, look around

And pull a chick

Of course standing on the corner

Might suit you or maybe baby

There's something else that you wanna do

Like playing poker, joker

Like to back a race, ace

I'm a little black boy and I don't know my proper place

I'm a little black boy, get my head in its space

I'm a little black boy, I just play my bass

I'm a little black boy, it's no disgrace
