Black Car
Joy Oladokun
[Verse 1]
Waiting on a black car to take me from my home
Bags are in the hall and the dog is at the door
For a hundred days, she will wonder where her other mother went
And I will spread my name like a gambler praying for some providence
[Verse 2]
Sitting in a black car thinking of my father
Trying to live my dreams and not forget to call
Who knows how few days we have left to live to love someone at all?
If I'm first to the grave I am proud of what I gave, I am proud
[Bridge]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
[Verse 3]
Thinking of a black car that'll take away my pain
My mind, it gets dark and I get blinded by my shame
I do not fear death but I will not steal the blade out of his hands
I will stay my course, turn my pain into beauty when I can
