I Want to Be Black

This is sung in the position that Justin is singing to me because he wants me to teach him how to be Black.

It's hard to say I'm ghetto
when I am from Tennessee
My blackness I always try to show
So don't hang up the phone now
I want to learn how to speak ebonics
So sooner or later I'll need hooked on phonics

Cause your all I ever wanted
Your all I ever needed
So tell me what to do now
When I want to be black

Baby I remember
the way you used to look at me and say
My whiteness will always last forever
You told me I should worry
You told me that nothing will be alright
Cause I'll never realize I'm white

Your all I ever wanted
Your all I ever needed
So tell me what to do now
When I want to be black
