excuse my negro blues
excuse my negro blues
but I need it
I need it
to remember where I'm from
remember where I'm from
excuse my negro blues
excuse my negro blues
but have you seen my sisters
have you seen my sisters
I need them around here
to remember where I'm from
remember where I'm from
you see I also need the blues
I also need the blues
like I need by brothers
I need my brothers
to remember where I'm from
remember where I'm from
truth be told I also sing the blues
I also sing the blues
that you need my unborn child
you my unborn child
to remember where your father is from
remember where your father is from
don't confuse my negro blues
with any other blues
this is the one growing in your ear
inside your mother's womb
the one I sing loud and clear
sing loud and clear
so that nobody around here
nobody around here
will ever make you feel
like a motherless child
like a motherless child
excuse my negro blues
excuse my negro blues
but I will not stop singing
I will not stop singing
I will not stop singing
until my beautiful queen
my beautiful queen
gives birth to you
for me to hear your sound of joy
hear your sound of joy
hear your sound of joy
