[00:00:03] Ohhhh

[00:00:06] Ohhhhh

[00:00:12] Black on black love

[00:00:16] That's what I'm thinking of

[00:00:19] That's what I want from you

[00:00:22] To thine own self be true

[00:00:25] Black on black love

[00:00:29] That's what I'm thinking of

[00:00:32] C'mon 'cause we're in this together y'all

[00:00:35] Let's try to make our hoods a little better y'all

[00:00:38] Last night after I prayed

[00:00:39] I layed my head down

[00:00:40] Tired after a hard day

[00:00:42] I blocked out the siren sound

[00:00:44] As I fell into a deep sleep

[00:00:46] I don't have dreams of cream

[00:00:48] My dreams are vivid and seldom seen

[00:00:50] And much to my delight

[00:00:51] I saw my peoples in a different light

[00:00:54] Tension was gone

[00:00:55] We stood black and strong

[00:00:56] Instead of a day

[00:00:57] We had a lifetime of atonement

[00:00:59] I felt loved

[00:01:00] I didn't have to treasure the moment

[00:01:02] Instead of drugs we gave out hugs

[00:01:04] And you payed with pain

[00:01:06] No more thugs and

[00:01:07] Everybody knew everybody's name

[00:01:09] No tricks no cheaters

[00:01:10] Women beaters pimps or whores

[00:01:12] Less stress and a whole lot less liquor stores

[00:01:15] Children played without worries of strays

[00:01:17] Longer days with shorter nights

[00:01:19] No need to fight

[00:01:20] We all stuck tight

[00:01:21] We stayed away from the traps

[00:01:23] As a people we lived right and exact

[00:01:25] And showed a whole lot more of that

[00:01:27] Black on black love

[00:01:31] That's what I'm thinking of

[00:01:34] That's what I want from you

[00:01:37] To thine own self be true

[00:01:40] Black on black love

[00:01:44] That's what I'm thinking of

[00:01:46] C'mon 'cause we're in this together y'all

[00:01:50] Let's try to make our hoods a little better y'all

[00:01:53] In my dream we all loved our neighbors

[00:01:55] Did each other favors

[00:01:56] And used the good sense God gave us

[00:01:59] Watched each others' backs

[00:02:00] And lifted while we climb

[00:02:02] There was no crime

[00:02:03] None of my brothers was doin' time

[00:02:05] And they treated all their sisters like ladies

[00:02:08] Women didn't worry because their men didn't act shady

[00:02:11] Mothers were proud of their seeds

[00:02:13] And kept a big smile

[00:02:14] 'Cause the whole village chipped in

[00:02:16] And raise that one child

[00:02:17] We supported our local

[00:02:19] Black owned stores

[00:02:20] We were down for the cause

[00:02:21] The next man make sure you had yours

[00:02:23] There were no robberies murders or rapes

[00:02:26] No child molesters

[00:02:27] We took control of our own fate

[00:02:30] The life span of the

[00:02:31] Black man increased

[00:02:32] Times were less stressed

[00:02:34] We did our best to live in peace

[00:02:36] We showed love for rap

[00:02:37] Kept in contact

[00:02:39] We stayed away from the traps

[00:02:40] And showed a whole lot more of that

[00:02:42] Black on black love

[00:02:46] That's what I'm thinking of

[00:02:49] That's what I want from you

[00:02:52] To thine own self be true

[00:02:55] Black on black love

[00:02:59] That's what I'm thinking of

[00:03:01] C'mon 'cause we're in this together y'all

[00:03:04] Let's try to make our hoods a little better y'all

[00:03:07] Now as I wake up to face this harsh mentality

[00:03:10] It's just a dream or prayer far from reality

[00:03:13] As I wait the siren sounds begin again

[00:03:16] I get up walk to my window

[00:03:18] Wondering if it will ever end

[00:03:20] When I look out nothing's changed

[00:03:21] Hustlers are still there

[00:03:23] Lady on the phone yelling how her baby father doesn't care

[00:03:26] Conflicts with derelicts over squeegies

[00:03:29] Homeless will work for food

[00:03:31] Would you please feed me

[00:03:32] It's our duty to try and help remove some of the stress

[00:03:35] Every 20 minutes a child dies a violent death

[00:03:38] Parents are frustrated

[00:03:40] Wondering where they went wrong

[00:03:41] Knowing that that fast money it won't last long

[00:03:45] We got some that fight for rights to be equal

[00:03:47] Some struggle and still we commit crimes against our own people

[00:03:51] Don't let it chain react

[00:03:52] Or fall into the traps

[00:03:54] It's time to recognize

[00:03:55] And start spreading some of that

[00:03:57] Love love love

[00:04:02] Bump bee ahh dump bah dump bah

[00:04:03] Black on

[00:04:05] Black love

[00:04:08] Love love love

[00:04:11] Love love

[00:04:14] Bump bee ahh dump bah dump bah

[00:04:16] Black on

[00:04:17] Black love

[00:04:20] On the black

[00:04:22] Black on black love

[00:04:26] That's what I'm thinking of

[00:04:29] That's what I want from you

[00:04:32] To thine own self be true

[00:04:35] Black on black love

[00:04:38] That's what I'm thinking of

[00:04:41] C'mon 'cause we're in this together y'all

[00:04:44] Let's try to make our hoods a little better y'all
