Thin Lizzy - Black Boys In The Corner Lyrics
Black Boys On The Corner (Lynott)------------------------One of the black boys said"I need none of your pity"It's your mama that don'tLike you loose in the cityBut stick about, take noteTake a tip, take no back lipCome come a little closerLet me see you snap your fingertipBecause standing on the cornerJust might suit you or maybe babyThere's something else you wanna doLike rolling dice, niceLike shooting pool, hey that's coolI'm a little black boy and I don't know my placeI'm just a little black boy, I just threw my aceI'm a little black boy, recognize my faceOne 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 bootAnd I'm feeling slickGonna go to town, look aroundAnd pull a chickOf course standing on the cornerMight suit you or maybe babyThere's something else that you wanna doLike playing poker, jokerLike to back a race, aceI'm a little black boy and I don't know my proper placeI'm a little black boy, get my head in its spaceI'm a little black boy, I just play my bassI'm a little black boy, it's no disgrace
