Original
I imagine myself running my fingers through your hair.
You lay your head on my chest and lay your heart bare.
You tell me where it hurts, baby, don't, don't hold it.
Baby, your tears are manly.
Baby, your tears are manly.
I imagine myself looking so deep into your eyes, the midnight oil of melanin no longer despised.
I tell you you're enough the way you are, you're enough.
And baby, your pain is human.
Baby, your pain is human.
And if I ever, ever get to love a Black boy, I'll forever, ever give him love, give him love. If I'm ever, ever blessed to love a
Black boy, I'll forever tell him, "You're enough, you're enough. "
As my fingers trace the narrative written in your scars, the journey that you carried alone is now ours.
I sing out for your pain when it hurts so deep.
Baby, you are my glory.
Baby, you are my glory.
And if I ever, ever get to love a Black boy,
I'll forever, ever give him love, give him love. Oh, and if
I'm ever, oh yeah, oh, I'll forever tell him, "You're enough.
" Hey, and I need you to know, -Black boy. -I see your struggle.
-I said I need you to know. -I see your whisper, I see your prayer.
-Oh, I need you to know.
-I'll be your shoulder, come hold me -tight. -In the rise and in the fall.
-Ohhh!
-I see -your fear, I see your struggle. -I see you.
-I see your whisper, I see your prayer. -I need you to know that I, I see you.
-I'll be your shoulder. -Ooh, and in the rise. . .
-In the fall. -Ooh, ooh,
Black boy, I see you.
