Black Boy White House
I lost my balance back on mlk jr boulevard
And i fell hard
I scrapped my knee
My mama ran to help me
Get up cause we're young and healthy
Get up cause there's so much that you can be
And so much that you will see
Young black and
Whatever you wanna be
Whatever you wanna be
You can be
Whatever you wanna be
Whatever you wanna be
Whatever you wanna be
Whatever you wanna be
You is kind
You is smart
You is important
And i am worth it
And they were worth it
And they deserved a good life
How do we compromise
Mistakes and petty lies
Apologize
It'll all be fine
I just want my brother home by 11 pm
Say that he'll be fine
I'll lose my mind
They lost their son
He lost his wife
Black and powerful
We're still alive
Looking blue in the sunlight
Growing cold in the moonlight
But we say that we're alright
Black boy white house
Black boy white house
Black boy white life
Black boy white knife
Push it in
Pull it out
That's progress
Please tell me that he'll be ok tonight
I lost my balance back on mlk jr boulevard
And i fell hard
I scrapped my knee
My mama ran to help me
Get up cause you're young and healthy
Get up cause there's so much that you can be
And so much that you will see
Young black and
I lost my balance
Then i caught it
Cory baxter
Oval office
Black boys in night skies
And moonlight and were alright
Please tell me that he'll be ok tonight
Please tell me that he'll be ok tonight
High five on the highway
I thought wed have it our way
I thought that maybe id feel my feet standing on my driveway
He prayed that way too
She prayed for her pain to go away
It always stays
Too long
Too long
Too long
I lost my balance back on mlk jr boulevard
And i fell hard
I scrapped my knee
My mama ran to help me
Get up cause we're young and healthy
Get up cause there's so much that you can be
And so much that you will see
Young black and
I lost my balance
Then i caught it
Cory baxter
Oval office
Black boys in night skies
And moonlight and were alright
Please tell me that he'll be ok tonight
Please tell me that he'll be ok
Tonight
And i fell hard
I scrapped my knee
My mama ran to help me
Get up cause we're young and healthy
Get up cause there's so much that you can be
And so much that you will see
Young black and
Whatever you wanna be
Whatever you wanna be
You can be
Whatever you wanna be
Whatever you wanna be
Whatever you wanna be
Whatever you wanna be
You is kind
You is smart
You is important
And i am worth it
And they were worth it
And they deserved a good life
