I feel real black right now
Real black right now
I feel real black right now
Real black right now
I feel real black right now
Real black right now
I never knew you like I should've known you
But my father spoke of you trough that liqueor
Can we get a curtain call
Let us pray your idea outlives you
'Cause everywhere there is a Chicago
The only way we're getting out of here
Is if hit the Lotto
My Mama left the incense burnung on the dresser
A hard way to learn one lesson
She said never be impressed with
A man with no message
I feel real black right now
Real black right now
And I'll never be mr. Madiba
I'm gonna thank you the next time I see you
I feel real black right now
Real black right now
The opression of a young Malcolm
The shots rang out across the balcony
The day we lost a dream
Too young to sing Marvin Gaye's "Whats going on"
Since then ain't been a lot going on
Enough pain can a make a whole race bitter
They say the right amount of love can heal us
Reminising back when Hilfiger made us like niggas
And that's the kind of thing that sticks with you
I never felt this black
I feeling real black right now
Real black right now
I feeling real black right now
Real black right now
And I'll never be Mr. Mediba
I'm gonna thank you the next time I see you
You got me feeling real black right now
Real black right now
Sombody take us home
Take me home, let's go home, let's go home
You got me feeling real black right now
Real black right now
You got me feeling real black right now
Real black right now
You got me feeling real black right now
Real black right now
You got me feeling real black right now
Real black right now
Sombody take us home
You got me feeling real black right now
Real black right now
Ya'll got me feeling real black right now
Real black right now

Black isn't just a color. Black isn't just a race anymore. It's a feeling and a place from which one feels isolated by the world of the governing elite. Classism is the new racism. This is what black feels like.
