Lyrics Brian K. Lundy, Jr. - SoMo

Dun, dun, dun
Dun, dun, dun
Dun, dun, dun
Dun, dun, dun, dun
Dun, dun, dun
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa

My friend the black boy
You don't give a second a look
Lest you think that he's so cruel
Why you shakin'?

My friend the black boy
He gave his life for you, he did
I've got the proof, I've got some pics
Still you judge him

Should he hang up on the cross?
Would that make you feel this loss?
Need a book to show you how to make feel right

Maybe I should say his name
Shout it out and make his claim
Give him light that you won't name
Local starcast

I don't see color, I see tone
And I think you got it wrong
Maybe when my daughters grow
The world will spin right

My friend, the black boy
I'm so sorry, I never called
You gave your life, you gave your all
You gave your all

I see you wishin' we had talked
'Bout the times when we were young
Sittin' bored under the sun, a friend that I see one as one
And his name was-
