Everything black, I don't want black I want everything black, I ain't need black Some white some black, I ain't mean black I want everything black Once I finish this, witnesses will convey just what I mean I'm African-American, I'm African You hate me

Everything is rosy now Lookin' at the world and everything that passes Seems a rosy hue somehow Why do I feel so spry? Don't blink your eye Needn't guess, I'll confess Certain someone just said 'yes' I will settle down, I vow That's why I'm lookin' at

How did I ever let you go? Is it worth the pain, with no one to blame? For all of my insecurities Never understood how she could, Mean so little to so many Why does she mean everything to me? Questioning her good intention Jealousy's a bad invention When

And everything I need And she's everything I ever wanted I talk about her I go on and on, and on 'Cause she's everything to me She's everything to me She's a yellow pair of running shoes A holey pair of jeans She looks great in cheap sunglasses

My ring is yours (save it, for me) Everything is yours (save it all for me) I need you to make me happy There will never be nobody Everything is yours Up at a time when I shouldn't be Thinking 'bout things that I shouldn't be Sad about shit I'm sad about

Low down leaving sun, I've done Did everything that needs done Woe is me, why can't I see I'D best be leaving well enough alone Them neon light nights, couldn't stay out of fights Them keep a-haunting me in memories There's one in every crowd, for crying

Everything's gonna be alright boys, help is on the way Hold your head up high now, there's no need to cry now We're not running anymore Leave the politics behind boys, they're not working anymore There's so much more at stake here, it's make or break

'Cause you're simply the best I call you when I need you And my heart's on fire You come to me, come to me Wild and wired You come to me, give me everything I need You bring a lifetime of promises And a world of dreams You speak the language of love

I want to write you a song Everything I need I get from you Givin' back is all I wanna do I want to lend you my coat I want to build you a boat One that's beautiful as you are sweet With just a hint of pain For the feeling that I get when you are gone

Listen girl you want me but he needs you Yet you're tellin' me that everything is cool Tryin' to convince me baby to do as you say Just go along and see things your way And keep it on the down low, nobody has to know We can keep it on the down low,
