Small town nineteen-ninety-three
Two kids different sides of the street
Jus' laughing and playing games
They didn't know one day they'll share a name
They grew up headed off to school
Couple years came back jumped the broom
But things got tense when they couldn't get
The pretty house with the white picket fence
But don't you know that where he came from
They don't have those things
It took him long enough to save up
Just to buy that ring
She hears him singing no one knows the trouble that I've seen
She grew up in a happy home he had to make it own his own
It's a Black Male (blackmail)
Is it something that we do to ourselves
Black Male (blackmail), Black Male (blackmail)
Black Male (blackmail), Black Male (blackmail)
She seemed a little nervous on the way home got a lost no signal on the phone
But he realizes where they are, he's thinking maybe she should drive the car
Lights start flashing red and blue, she's afraid he's thinking nothing new
She says sir what did we do?, Says it has nothing to do with you
They put a call out for a suspect that looks just like him
Around his height around his weight and he's got darker skin
Sir I need you out the car I'm calling backup and
She looks up to see her eyes another tear
But I ain't surprised cause I'm a black male baby
Is it something that we do to ourselves
Black Male (blackmail), Black Male (blackmail)
Black Male (blackmail), Black Male (blackmail)
It's hard I know and you deal with it everyday
Trust God be strong he'll never lead you astray
I'm here for you no matter what comes our way
To be in love, this is the price that we pay
Monday night in the living room caught chills when they turned on the news
Missouri full of misery had to kiss his wife on the cheek
They'll get over it
After awhile is more concerned about what to tell his child
Don't give into the worldview
'Cause either way you didn't choose to be a black male
Is it something that we do to ourselves
Black Male (blackmail), Black Male (blackmail)
Black Male (blackmail), Black Male (blackmail)
