BSE (Black Stories Everyday) Lyrics

I know we get a month to get our story told, but I feel like it's up to us to keep our

Stories going, so this Black Stories, Everyday, BSE, feel this one, all night, all day, yeah

Hot kitchen box fan, no face

Oil poppin', paper towel covered plates

Bow your head, fold your hands, say grace

Before you eat, never make that mistake

Or you'll see granny's hand, or won't see it

Strike your hand, that went to reach

You don't need it, that bad

Learning to acknowledge him first

Put it in our hearts before we learned the verse

Suit and tie on a Sunday

Or Final Call, Bean pie down the one way

Community thrived around religion

Something bigger than us, to survive the tension

The choir pews and snake shoes

Texturizers, plaid shirts, and cool brews

45s poppin', but no news

We talkin' vinyl line dances and new grooves

Don't this make you feel like

Card tables at the cookout while the kids all playin'

I'm just sayin'

I'm just

Don't this make you feel like

Mama and the kids cleanin' house while the record's playin'

I'm just sayin'

I'm just

Fire hydrants in the summertime

Corner stores for quarter waters, we waitin' in the line

Milk crates, the bottom breaks, then lay up lines

couldn't tell us we wasn't Jordan up in our minds

Double dutch ropes and hopscotch soaked in

Sweat, while the barrettes floatin'

Bazooka Joe, what comic you gettin' this time

Penny candy have you feelin' rich with three dimes

Easy Bake Ovens for little girls

Baby alive, had to change diapers after the meals

TGIF and Uncle Phil

Will, Aunt Viv' I know you gettin' the feels

MJ, Tupac and Biggie

New Edition, Boys II Men

We gettin jiggy

From SWV to TLC

To Mary and Toni

And everything in between

It's like that

Don't this make you feel like

Card tables at the cookout while the kids all playin'

I'm just sayin'

I'm just

Don't this make you feel like

Mama and the kids cleanin' house while the record's playin'

I'm just sayin'

I'm just

Don't this make you feel like

Card tables at the cookout while the kids all playin'

I'm just sayin'

I'm just

Don't this make you feel like

Mama and the kids cleanin' house while the record's playin'

I'm just sayin'

I'm just

Don't this make you feel like

Card tables at the cookout while the kids all playin'

I'm just sayin'

I'm just

Don't this make you feel like

Mama and the kids cleanin' house while the record's playin'

I'm just sayin'

I'm just
