What you do man

I think I'm going down the corner

One of the black boys said

I need none of your pity

It's your mama that don't like you loose in the city

But stick about take note

Take a tip take no backlip

Come a closer let me see you snap your fingertip

'Cause standing on the corner just might suit you

Or maybe baby there's something else that you wanna do

I like a rolling dice nice

I like a shooting pool hey that's cool

I'm a little black boy and I don't know my place

I'm a little black boy and I just threw my ace

I'm a little black boy recognize the face

One of the black boys said

I'm a giving a warning

People been putting me down

I'm so tired I'm yawning

A new suit pretty boots to boot

And I'm feeling slick

Gonna go to town look around

And pull a chick

Of course standing on the corner just might suit you

Or maybe baby there's something else that you wanna do

Yea

I like playing poker joker

I like to back a race ace

I'm a little black boy and I don't know my proper place

I'm a little black boy get my head in it's space

I'm a little black boy and I just play my bass

I'm a little black boy and I just threw my space

I'm a little black boy recognize the face

I'm a little black boy

I'm take no anybody

And to break

I'm a little black boy
