FF             C majorC      G+G
His blackness doesn't look blue in any moonlight
FF             C majorC      G+G
Which makes him harder to see

We wanna belong

So hear her siren song

Keeps us in total subjugation

       FF       C majorC
We want to be shy and introspective
        G+G
We want to make noise
      C majorC
We wanna mesmerize
        FF             C majorC
Why can't we be cool, tall, vulnerable and luscious?
        G+G        E minorEm
Why can't we express in our own way?
        FF           C majorC
Why can't we unleash what's locked inside us?
         G+G              C majorC
Who made up these rules black boys must always obey?
