âWhat you doinâ man?â
âI think Iâll go on down the cornerâ
One of the black boys said âI need none of your pityâ
It's your mama that don't like you loose in the city
But stick about, take note, take a tip and take no back lip
Come closer, let me see you snap your fingertip
Because standing on my corner just might suit ya
Or maybe, baby, there's something else that you wanna do, yeah
Like rolling dice, nice
Like 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
One of the black boys said âI'm a-giving a warningâ
âPeople been putting me down, I'm so tired I'm yawningâ
A new suit, pretty boots to boot, I'm feeling slick, yeah
Iâm gonna go to town, look around, pull a chick, yeah
Of course standing on the corner just might suit you
Or maybe, baby, there's something else that you wanna do, yeak
Like playing poker, joker
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 it's space
I'm a little black boy and I just play my bass
I'm a little black boy and I just threw my ace
I'm a little black boy, recognize the face
