Leslie Odom, Jr. – Remember Black lyrics

[Refrain]
Remember the tapping of your feet
The sliding 'cross the floor
Came from the smiles we couldn't keep
I see ya as you swipe the symphony
Singing quite the misery
Just remember that was me

[Pre-Chorus]
We all need music to heal
Moves to remind us how much we can feel
And so much grew from the fields
In America where we think everything is for sale

[Chorus]
You ain't got to give it back
Just remember black
You ain't got to give it back
Just remember black
(Ah, ooh)
(Hoo, ooh)
Oh

[Refrain]
Remember the tapping of your feet
The sliding 'cross the floor
From smiles we couldn't keep (Ooh)
I see ya as you swipe our symphony
Singing quite the misery
Just remember that was me

[Pre-Chorus]
All need music to heal (Music to heal)
Moves to remind us how, how much we can feel
And so much grew from the, g-grew from the fields
In America where we think everything is for sale

[Chorus]
You ain't got (Ain't got)
To give it back (Give it back; Ooh)
Just (Just)
Remember black (Remember black; Remember, remember)
You ain't got (Ain't got)
To give it back (Give it back; Remember me)
Just (Just)
Remember black (Remember black; Just remember)
You ain't got (Ain't got)
To give it back (Give it back; Remember me)
Just (Just)
Remember black (Remember black)
You ain't got (Ain't got)
To give it back (Give it back)
Just (Just)
Remember black (Remember black)

[Refrain]
Remember the tapping of your feet
The sliding 'cross the floor
Came from smiles we couldn't keep
I see ya as you swipe the symphony
Singing quite the misery
Just remember that was me

[Pre-Chorus]
We all need music to heal
Moves to remind us how much we can feel
And so much grew from the fields in America
Where we think everything's for sale

[Bridge]
(Hoo, hey-yeah, oh yeah)

[Chorus]
You ain't got to give it back (Yeah)
Just remember black (Yeah)
You ain't got to give it back (Yeah)
Just remember black (Yeah)

[Outro]
Oh, America
Don't forget to, oh, remember
You ain't got to give it back
Just remember black
You ain't got to give it back
Just remember black
