Once you born on trinidad and tobago 🇹🇹 you're Black, it song was for everyone no matter where you think your forefathers come from.

It's true keep up singing
This song demonstrates what is happening to our youth today. Very sad that parents are not putting more pressure on the youth.
Parents today are youths themselves
This song should be played at school assembles.

song lyrics
There was once ah little black boy,
Ah black boy was he
The boy when to school and come out duncy
Never learn how to read, never learn about math
Never learn how to write, he never study bout that
All he study was he sneakers, he sneakers and clothes
He learn how to dress, and hee learn how to pose
Now he cant get no work, cant get no job
He decide to steal, and he decide to rob
But little black job couldn't last long at all
The police put ah bullet though he duncy head skull
Little black boy, go to school and learn
Little black boy, show come concern
Little black boy, Education is the key
To get you off the school and off poverty
Little black boy, go to school and learn
Little black boy, show come concern
Little black boy, Education is the key
To get you off the street and off poverty
There was ah little black boy, ah rude boy was he
All the boy ambition was to conduct ah maxi
With ah ring in he nose, ah gold teeth in he mouth
He feel very proud when they call him ah doubt
So proud was the boy, that the boy never learn
HE coulda work hard and buy an maxi of his own
So he hustle for a dollar, he hustle for a smoke
He hustle so dat he could buy ah lil coke
Now he hook and the coke and off the maxi
And one more lil black vagrant in the country
Little black boy, go to school and learn
Little black boy, show come concern
Little black boy, Education is the key
To get you off the school and off poverty
Little black boy, think bout yuh race
Little black boy, when will you find yuh place
Little black boy, go to school and learn
When you black, you just black, you cant help but be black
But because you black, you dont stay in the back
Be black, be black, but be concious
Be black, be black, but be concious
Look in the front see who's the doctor
Look in the back, see who's the lawyer
Look in the back, see who's the banker
Look at the business, who's the owner
Look at the staff, see who's the worker
Look at the drug, see who's the dan man
Look who eating out ah dem garbage can
Look in the jail see who you see dude
A lot ah little black boy just like you
Little black boy, go to school and learn
Little black boy, show some concern
Little black boy, Education is the key
To get you off the school and off poverty
Little black boy, go to school and learn
Little black boy, show some concern
Little black boy, think bout yuh race
Little black boy, when would you find yuh place
Little black boy, go to school and learn
Little black boy, take ah look at yuhself
Little black boy, take ah look at yuhself
Little black boy, put yuh gun on the shelf
Little black boy, watch what yuh do
Little black boy, take ah good look at you
Little black boy, look at other people too
Little black boy, is that the way you should be
Little black boy, doh put drugs in yuh vein
Little black boy, it will drive you insane
Little black boy, and in yuh brain
Little black boy, don't you be no fool
Little black boy, keep yourself in school

Little Black Boy
There was a little black boy, a black boy was he
The boy went to school and he came out dunce
He never learn how to write, he never learn about math
He never learn how to write, he never study 礎out that
All the study was his sneekers, his sneekers and the clothes
So he learn how to dress and he learn how to pose
Now he can't get no work, he can't get no job
So he decide to steal and he decide to rob
But little black boy couldn't last long at all
The police put a bullet through his dunce head-skull
Little black boy, go to school and learn
Little black boy, show some concern
Little black boy, education is the key
To get you off the street and off poverty
There was a little black boy, a rude boy was he
All the boy ambition was to conduct a maxi
With ear-ring in he nose, a gold teeth in he mouth
He feel very proud when they call him a tout
So proud was the boy that the boy never learn
He could ah work hard and buy a maxi of his own
So he hustle for a dollar he hustle for a smoke
He hustle so that he could buy a little coke
Now he's hook on the coke and off the maxi
And is one more little black vagrant in the country
When you're black you just black. You can't help being black
But because you are black you don't stay back
Be black, be black
But be conscious!
Be black be black
But be conscious!
Look in the front, see who's the doctor?
Look in the back, see who's the lawyer?
Look in the bank, see who's the banker?
Look at the business, see who's the owner?
Look at the staff, see who's the worker?
Look at the drugs, see who's the clan man?
Look who eating out ah them garbage can?
Look in the jail see who you see too
Ah bet ah little black boy just like you!
Little black boy, go to school and learn
Little black boy, show some concern
Little black boy, education is the key
To get you off the street and off poverty
Little black boy, think 礎out your race
Little black boy, when would you find your place?
Little black boy, go to school and learn!
Little black boy, take a look at yourself
Little black boy, take a look at yourself
Little black boy, that's what you'd do
Little black boy, take a good look at you
Little black boy, look at other people, too
Little black boy, is that the way you should be?
Little black boy, don't put drugs in your vein
Little black boy, it will drive you insane
Little black boy, it will huddle your brain
Little black boy, don't you be no fool
Little black boy, keep yourself in school
When you're black you just black. You can't help being black
But because you are black you don't stay back
Be black, be black
But be conscious!
Be black be black
But be conscious!
