Joel Culpepper - Black Boy

Unashamed
Thinks he’s famous
Style is dangerous
Nobody’s taking his shine

A leopard coat
Don’t watch folks
A pink lunch box
Said It’s cold but he never wears socks

And he fights every single day
Tryna find all the words I can
to say to you
Doesn’t care what the people say
It doesn’t matter anyway
The kid has got his own

You give me joy
Black boy
I see the way you walk
I hear the way you talk
You give me joy
Black boy
I wonder if you know
You give me hope for tomorrow

Underrated
But hair is faded
Don’t need no saviour
He’s his own friendly superhero

He can flex
With the best
The system
No you can’t take the shine from the son

Still I fight every single day
Trying to find the words I could say
Just to you
But it don’t matter (doesn’t matter anyway)
Oh had I been told
You give me Joy
Black boy
Yeah, yeah

Joy (joy)
Black boy (boy)

You give me hope for tomorrow

You give me Joy
Black boy
I see the way you walk
I hear the way you talk
You give me joy (Joy)

Black boy
I wonder if you know
You give me hope for tomorrow

Yeah you give me hope
Black boy
Yeah you give me hope
You give me hope for tomorrow

Yeah you give me hope
Black boy
Yeah you give me hope (come on)
You give me hope for tomorrow

You give me joy (you give me joy)
Black boy (black boy)
I see the way you walk (you are my sunshine)
I hear the way you talk (you are my blue sky)
You give me joy (you make me smile)
Black boy (black boy)
I wonder if you know
You give me hope for tomorrow

You give me joy
