I used to hump my pillow at night

I used to hump my pillow at night.

The type of silent prayer to make myself prepare for the light

The type of silent prayer to help myself prepare for the light.

Me and my cousin Duce would rank the girls between one and ten

And the highest number got to be my pillows pretend

and the highest number got to be my pillows pretend.

Now I apologize to every high ranker

Now I apologize to every high ranker.

But you taught me how to dream and so I also thank you

But you taught me how to dream and so I also thank you.

I never had the courage to approach you at school

I never had the courage to approach you at school.

We joked around a lot and I know you thought I dressed cool

We joked around a lot and I know you thought I dressed cool.

But I was just covering up all the

But I was just coverin' up all the insecurities that came bubblin' up

insecurities that came bubbling up.

My complexion had me stuck in an emotional rut

My complexion had

Like the time you flavor flaved me

I never got to be myself 'cause to myself

I never got to be myself 'cause to

I always was, Black Stacey, in polka dots and Paisley

myself I always was Black Stacey, in polka dots

A double goose and Bally shoes, you thought it wouldn't phase me

and paisley, a double goose

I was black Stacey the preachers' son from Haiti

and bally shoes, you thought it wouldn't phase me.

Who rhymed a lot and always got the dance steps at the party

I was Black Stacey.

I was black Stacey

the preachers' son from Haiti

You thought it wouldn't phase me, but it did 'cause I was just a kid

who rhymed a lot and always got the dance steps at the party.

I used to use bleachin' creme

you thought it wouldn't phase me, but it

'Til madame C.J. Walker walked into my dreams

I dreamt of bein' white and complimented by you

But the only shiny black thing that you liked was my shoes

Walker walked into my dreams.

All the little things you said that warped my head and my gut

I dreamt of being white and

complimented by you, but the only shiny black

thing that you liked was my shoes.

Now, I apologize for bottling up

all the little things you said that warped my head and my gut.

Even though I always told you not to

Brag about the fact that your great grand

Mother was raped by her slave master

Here we go

Now here's a little message for you, all you baller playa's got

Some insecurities too, that you could cover up, bling it up

Cash in and ching ching it up, hope no

One will bring it up, lock it down and string it up

Or you can share your essence with us, 'cause everything about you Couldn't be rugged and ruff and even though you tote a

Glock and you're hot on the streets

If you dare to share your heart, we'll nod our heart to it's beat

And you should do that, if nothin' else, to prove that

A player like you could keep it honest and true

Don't mean to call your bluff but, mothafucka that's what I do

You got platinum chain then, son, I'm probably talkin' to you

And you can call your gang, your posse and the rest of your crew

And while you're at it get them addicts and the indigent too

I plan to have a whole army by the time that I'm through

To load their guns with songs they haven't sung

Like Back Stacey, they called me, "Black Stacey"

I never got to be myself 'cause to myself

I always was, Black Stacey, in polka dots and Paisley

A double goose and Bally shoes, you thought it wouldn't phase me

I was black Stacey the preachers' son from Haiti

Who rhymed a lot and always got the dance steps at the party

I was black Stacey

You thought it wouldn't phase me, but it did 'cause I was just a kid

Back Stacey, they called me, "Black Stacey"

Black Stacey.

I never got to be myself 'cause to myself

They called me Black Stacey.

I always was, Black Stacey, they called me Black Stacey

I never got to be myself 'cause to myself I

Aah Black Stacey, ooh Black Stacey

always was Black Stacey, in polka dots

Move Black Stacey, groove Black Stacey

and paisley, a double goose and bally shoes,

Shake Black Stacey, make Black Stacey

I was Black Stacey. the preachers'

son from Haiti who

rhymed a lot and always got the dance steps at the party.

Youthought it wouldn't phase me, but it

message for you.

All you baller playa's got
