Black Boy

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was at a bus station, you know I met a little boy A thing the boy told me gave me a strange kind of joy "Mister we just integrated", ooh, yeah, you know "I'm the only black boy in the school where I go" [Refrain] Well, well, well, well, well [Verse 2] "My teacher asked me just the other day To say the preamble for the United States Oh, I said it, yes, I did, the best that I could Oh, my teacher said: 'Don, that's very good'" [Refrain] Well, well, well, well, well Listen [Verse 3] "As I started to take my seat I asked the teacher 'Was it also for me?' The class busted and laughed up, I hung my head in shame Oh, my teacher came over and took me by my hand" [Refrain] Well, well, well, well, well [Verse 4] "Let me tell you, I heard her say 'Don, your darkest hour, you know is just before day'" I can't say Don's teacher was wrong But, what I wanna know, is why it's taken so long [Refrain] Well, well, well, well, well [Outro] Well, well, well, well, well Well, well, well, well, well
