What you do man?
I think I'm going down the corner
ย
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 backlip
Come a closer let me see you snap your fingertip
'Cause standing on the corner just might suit you
Or maybe baby there's something else that you wanna do
I like a rolling dice, nice
I like a shooting pool, hey that's cool
I'm a little black boy and I don't know my place
I'm a little black boy and I just threw my ace
I'm a little black boy, recognize the face
ย
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 just might suit you
Or maybe baby there's something else that you wanna do
I like playing poker, joker
I 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 and I just play my bass
I'm a little black boy and I just threw my spades
I'm a little black boy, recognize the face
I'm a little black boy
ย
I'm a little black boy
