Hey Black Boy


Hey black boy

You'll be okay

At least you live another day.

Don't be scared of the white man 

It's just his color,

Teach your mama, family,

And plenty others.

Hey black boy

You're special too

You got melanin, art, 

And soul in you.

Hey black boy 

You know you're no thug right?

Keep your chin up

Laugh everyday and 

Worry no night.
