Tabbed by: fauxglory

Verse 1:

B minorBm
     F#F#  G+G        F#F#
On rough streets I never could realize
        B minorBm    F#F#
What was the problem, oh no
    G+G     F#F#       B minorBm
Why am I getting called out this way?
   F#F#        G+G      F#F#
Oh, I just couldn't see my leather coat
         B minorBm   F#F#
Or who's looking at me now
          G+G
I couldn't pull it off
      F#F#               B minorBm
To walk the street looking just how I would like

Without looking left or right
F#F#                        G+G
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh and it goes

Chorus:

    D MajorD      F#F#        B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
When I was young I only wanted to be black
         D MajorD      F#F#           B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm
And I would have paid to wear what I want and still relax

Verse 2:

      F#F#          G+G
What's your plans for the night?
        F#F#         B minorBm     F#F#
Meet up at the, no, I'll get on my fixed gear
          G+G
In purple or black tights
          F#F#          B minorBm
You're dressed just right for your decade true
          F#F#          G+G
You're dressed just right for your age
         F#F#       B minorBm     F#F#
What used to be a stage is just a phase now
              G+G
You're not going up through life
     F#F#                 B minorBm
It's only just like changing channels on your TV

That's not how it's supposed to be
F#F#                        G+G
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh and it goes

Chorus:

    D MajorD      F#F#        B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
When I was young I only wanted to be black
         D MajorD      F#F#           B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
And I would have paid to wear what I want and still relax
     D MajorD
And everyone at the time
F#F#        B minorBm     A augmentedA    G+G
Was only classic then, only classic then
     D MajorD
And everyone at this time
F#F#       B minorBm    A augmentedA    B minorBm
Is only classic now, only classic now

Bridge:

                   F#F#
What kind of accomplishment is throw back?
                  G+G
I was the first one to prefer that
                  F#F#
Everyone's making dance music true
         B minorBm
But we started 2002

So what the future don't appeal to you
   F#F#                    G+G
Where no one's supposed to wear Jordan shoes

When I was young yeah I wore them to school
   F#F#                    B minorBm
But I had them on only like something to lose

Verse 3:

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

Chorus:

    D MajorD      F#F#        B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
When I was young I only wanted to be black
         D MajorD      F#F#           B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
And I would have paid to wear what I want and still relax
     D MajorD
And everyone at the time
F#F#        B minorBm     A augmentedA    G+G
Was only classic then, only classic then
     D MajorD
And everyone at this time
F#F#       B minorBm    A augmentedA    D MajorD
Is only classic now, only classic now
