Remember Black - Leslie Odom, Jr.

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

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

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

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

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

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)

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

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

(Hoo, hey-yeah, oh yeah)
