0:00Black On Black Love - Queen Latifah
0:03Ohhhh
0:06Ohhhhh
0:12Black on black love
0:16That's what I'm thinking of
0:19That's what I want from you
0:22To thine own self be true
0:25Black on black love
0:29That's what I'm thinking of
0:32C'mon 'cause we're in this together y'all
0:35Let's try to make our hoods a little better y'all
0:38Last night after I prayed
0:39I layed my head down
0:40Tired after a hard day
0:42I blocked out the siren sound
0:44As I fell into a deep sleep
0:46I don't have dreams of cream
0:48My dreams are vivid and seldom seen
0:50And much to my delight
0:51I saw my peoples in a different light
0:54Tension was gone
0:55We stood black and strong
0:56Instead of a day
0:57We had a lifetime of atonement
0:59I felt loved
1:00I didn't have to treasure the moment
1:02Instead of drugs we gave out hugs
1:04And you payed with pain
1:06No more thugs and
1:07Everybody knew everybody's name
1:09No tricks no cheaters
1:10Women beaters pimps or whores
1:12Less stress and a whole lot less liquor stores
1:15Children played without worries of strays
1:17Longer days with shorter nights
1:19No need to fight
1:20We all stuck tight
1:21We stayed away from the traps
1:23As a people we lived right and exact
1:25And showed a whole lot more of that
1:27Black on black love
1:31That's what I'm thinking of
1:34That's what I want from you
1:37To thine own self be true
1:40Black on black love
1:44That's what I'm thinking of
1:46C'mon 'cause we're in this together y'all
1:50Let's try to make our hoods a little better y'all
1:53In my dream we all loved our neighbors
1:55Did each other favors
1:56And used the good sense God gave us
1:59Watched each others' backs
2:00And lifted while we climb
2:02There was no crime
2:03None of my brothers was doin' time
2:05And they treated all their sisters like ladies
2:08Women didn't worry because their men didn't act shady
2:11Mothers were proud of their seeds
2:13And kept a big smile
2:14'Cause the whole village chipped in
2:16And raise that one child
2:17We supported our local
2:19Black owned stores
2:20We were down for the cause
2:21The next man make sure you had yours
2:23There were no robberies murders or rapes
2:26No child molesters
2:27We took control of our own fate
2:30The life span of the
2:31Black man increased
2:32Times were less stressed
2:34We did our best to live in peace
2:36We showed love for rap
2:37Kept in contact
2:39We stayed away from the traps
2:40And showed a whole lot more of that
2:42Black on black love
2:46That's what I'm thinking of
2:49That's what I want from you
2:52To thine own self be true
2:55Black on black love
2:59That's what I'm thinking of
3:01C'mon 'cause we're in this together y'all
3:04Let's try to make our hoods a little better y'all
3:07Now as I wake up to face this harsh mentality
3:10It's just a dream or prayer far from reality
3:13As I wait the siren sounds begin again
3:16I get up walk to my window
3:18Wondering if it will ever end
3:20When I look out nothing's changed
3:21Hustlers are still there
3:23Lady on the phone yelling how her baby father doesn't care
3:26Conflicts with derelicts over squeegies
3:29Homeless will work for food
3:31Would you please feed me
3:32It's our duty to try and help remove some of the stress
3:35Every 20 minutes a child dies a violent death
3:38Parents are frustrated
3:40Wondering where they went wrong
3:41Knowing that that fast money it won't last long
3:45We got some that fight for rights to be equal
3:47Some struggle and still we commit crimes against our own people
3:51Don't let it chain react
3:52Or fall into the traps
3:54It's time to recognize
3:55And start spreading some of that
3:57Love love love
4:02Bump bee ahh dump bah dump bah
4:03Black on
4:05Black love
4:08Love love love
4:11Love love
4:14Bump bee ahh dump bah dump bah
4:16Black on
4:17Black love
4:20On the black
4:22Black on black love
4:26That's what I'm thinking of
4:29That's what I want from you
4:32To thine own self be true
4:35Black on black love
4:38That's what I'm thinking of
4:41C'mon 'cause we're in this together y'all
4:44Let's try to make our hoods a little better y'all
