The-Dream - Black lyrics

[Hook] I feel real black right now Real black right now I feel real black right now Real black right now I feel 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 burning on the dresser A hard way to learn one lesson She said never be impressed with a man with no message [Hook] I feel real black right now Real black right now I feel real black right now I feel real black right now Real black right now I feel real black right now [Bridge] And I'll never be Mr. Madiba I'm gonna thank you the next time I see you You got me feeling 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 going on Enough pain can make a whole race bitter They say the right amount of love can heal us Reminiscing back when Hilfiger made us feel like n***as And that's the kind of thing that sticks with you I never felt this black... [Hook + Bridge] I never felt this black I feel real black right now Real black right now I feel real black right now I feel real black right now And I'll never be Mr. Madiba I'm gonna thank you the next time I see you You got me feeling real black right now Real black right now... [Outro] Somebody take us home Take me home Let's go home Let's go home You got me feeling real black right now Real black right now... You got me feeling real black right now Real black right now... You got me feeling real black right now Real black right now... You got me feeling real black right now Real black right now... Somebody take us home Real black right now... Real black right now... You got me feeling real black right now Real black right now...
