I like a playin' poker, joker
One of the black boys said
I'm a little black boy and I don't know my proper place
I'm a little black boy, [Incomprehensible]
I'm a little black boy and I just threw my ace
I like to back a race, ace
I'm feelin' slick, yeah
People been puttin' me down
Take a tip and take no back lip
I'm a little black boy and I don't know my place
I'm a little black boy, I just play my bass
Let me see you snap your fingertip
I like a shootin' pool, hey, that's cool
But stick about, take note
Just might suit you or maybe baby
"I need none of your pity"
A new suit, pretty boots to boot
"I'm givin' a warnin'
One of the black boys said
There's something else that you wanna do, yeah
'Cause standin' on the corner
I'm so tired, I'm yawnin'"
I'm gonna go to town, look around
I'm a little black boy, recognize the face
I'm a little black boy, recognize the face
Of course standin' on the corner
It's your mama that don't
Pull a chick, yeah
Come on closer
Just might suit you or maybe baby
I'm a little black boy, get my head in its space
There's somethin' else you wanna do, yeah
I like a rollin' dice, nice
Like you loose in the city
