Ohhhh[00:00:03]

Ohhhhh[00:00:06]

Black on black love[00:00:12]

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

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

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

Black on black love[00:00:25]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tension was gone[00:00:54]

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

Instead of a day[00:00:56]

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

I felt loved[00:00:59]

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

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

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

No more thugs and[00:01:06]

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

No tricks no cheaters[00:01:09]

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

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

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

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

No need to fight[00:01:19]

We all stuck tight[00:01:20]

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

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

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

Black on black love[00:01:27]

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

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

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

Black on black love[00:01:40]

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

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

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

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

Did each other favors[00:01:55]

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

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

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

There was no crime[00:02:02]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We supported our local[00:02:17]

Black owned stores[00:02:19]

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

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

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

No child molesters[00:02:26]

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

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

Black man increased[00:02:31]

Times were less stressed[00:02:32]

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

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

Kept in contact[00:02:37]

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

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

Black on black love[00:02:42]

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

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

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

Black on black love[00:02:55]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hustlers are still there[00:03:21]

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

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

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

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

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

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

Parents are frustrated[00:03:38]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Love love love[00:03:57]

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

Black on[00:04:03]

Black love[00:04:05]

Love love love[00:04:08]

Love love[00:04:11]

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

Black on[00:04:16]

Black love[00:04:17]

On the black[00:04:20]

Black on black love[00:04:22]

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

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

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

Black on black love[00:04:35]

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

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

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