Yeah, 'cause of my rockin' and rollin' again I find myself in the drink, I'm caught in the spin there A million miles from home and family, marooned here stuck without a friend That little cannonball keep that and throw him overboard, boy Don't wanna shoulderor colder Without a doubt this the worst vacation that I have ever been sent on Cuz I'm black, yeah My thoughts are cryin' On my mind Get it on my head Thoughts about cryin' On my mind Gotta keep my head, I've gotta get a fix Keep it above the line Above the blue deep blue I can't, hey this is a water slide Don't stop, tread water I'll stay here for a little while Don't stop, tread water Leviathan rise up from below Cuz I'm black, yeah My thoughts are cryin' On my mind Get it on my head Thoughts about cryin' On my mind C'mon! Down in the hold I'm 'bout to dock my old lady Cause for the end of the world tonight You believe cries the raven on my shoulder They can give me the plank, I'll take the salty water Scent of lime or lemon and a orange peel Bitter mama doesn't know how I feel I maintain this is the worst vacation I have ever been put on Cuz I'm black, yeah My thoughts are cryin' On my mind Cuz I'm black, yeah My thoughts are cryin' On my mind Yeah Come on Black thoughts Black thoughts Black thoughts baby C'mon, black thoughts
