Wanna Be Black Lyrics

On rough streets I never could realize what was the problem Oh no
Why am I getting called out this way
I just couldn't see, my leather coat or who's looking at me now
I couldn't pull it off
To walk the street looking just how I would like
With out looking left or right
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh and it goes

When I was young I only wanted to be black
And I would have paid to wear what I want and still relax.

What's your plans for the night?
Meet up at the No I'll get on my fixed gear
In purple or black tights
You're dressed just right foryour decade true
You're dressed just right for your age
What used to be a stage is just a phase now
You're not going up through life
It's only just like changing channels on your TV
That's not how it's supposed to be
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh and it goes...

When I was young I only wanted to be black
And I would have paid to wear what I want and still relax.

And everyone at the time Was only classic then, only classic then
And everyone at this time, is only classic now, only classic now.

What kind of accomplishment is through back?
I was the first one to prefer that
Everyone's making dance music true
But we've been doing it since 2002
So what the future don't appeal to you
Where no one's supposed to wear Jordan shoes
When I was young yeah I wore them to school
But I had them on only like something to lose.

You got your eyes on it now
Your fashionable goals you could never make it, oh no
Anyway who could pull it off
When everything cast as the future of retro
I got beat up for my cloths oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh and it goes.

When I was young I only wanted to be black
And I would have paid to wear what I want and still relax.

And everyone at the time
Was only classic then, only classic then
And everyone at this time, is only classic now, only classic now.
