danny watts - black boy meets world lyrics

[hook]
boy, you got your mama’s eyes
deep inside i know you hold your daddy’s pride
black boy, gliding like you hypnotized
boy, you need some ackrite cause you ain’t acting right

[verse 1]
mama say i’m a diamond in the rough
miracles are instances that show you god’s love
i might not be here cause i know there was a
time before i was born that my father would
feud with my mama
all of the drama was feeding me karma
i came out the womb with the world against me
born without a spoon, had to earn what i receive
parents hate each other so they never even speak
all i ever hear is how the other is a ____
going to my grammy’s cause all i want is some peace
all i want is to see a picture of us three
black boy meets world

[hook]
boy, you got your mama’s eyes
deep inside i know you hold your daddy’s pride
black boy, gliding like you hypnotized
boy, you need some ackrite cause you ain’t acting right

[verse 2]
grammy the first who show ’bout god’s love
church on every sunday i go cause it’s a must
she taught this black boy how to be a man
how to be a man of god in his image
at times i don’t listen
i get confused cause there was a man in the choir
he looked familiar, i want the chance to stand beside him
she wouldn’t bother, i need to know if it was my father
she looks right at me and says “that man is not your father!”
i’m looking forward to church every sunday
looking for man in the choir pretending one day
he would come up to me and then he’d say
he was my dadd-ay
that wasn’t part of the plan
that drew a line in the sand
my heart was yearning, i know
cause i would still sit in rows
put my mind through these shows
finding bliss on my own
avoid the truth cause it’s cold
it was hard to let go
black boy meets world

[hook]
boy, you got your mama’s eyes
deep inside i know you hold your daddy’s pride
black boy, gliding like you hypnotized
boy, you need some ackrite cause you ain’t acting right

[verse 3]
mama taught me the value of hard work
sacrificing dreams just for me, i’m not worthy
i’m giving her the hardest times
anger in my heart cause i was on the line
fighting at any sign
there were many times we barely made it by
sitting by her door hearing whispers of her cries
wishing there was more in this world for her to thrive
thinking of the ways that i could make her feel alive
she would give it all for me
go to sleep with hunger just so i could eat
eleven years of growing, it was just you and me
us against the universe and then you sowed a seed
a baby boy for my company, i take him up under me
i’m showing him all these things that a young brother needs
then it would dawn on me, one day i was wondering
all that i’ve come to be from us three

[hook]
boy, you got your mama’s eyes
deep inside i know you hold your daddy’s pride
black boy, gliding like you hypnotized
boy, you need some ackrite cause you ain’t acting right
