Black & White by Todrick Hall

Black & White Lyrics

[00:03.51] I lived in a world full of peoples so unwilling to see the color bars beyond the endless static
[00:08.81] Too content with living life like a rerun of an old back and white sitcom
[00:13.64] Which is odd cause well
[00:16.36] It was the 90's
[00:19.42] And everywhere I went people would say, "wow you are definitely unique", huh
[00:25.02] What they were really tryna say was
[00:27.83] Hey, dreamer
[00:29.31] Why you gotta dream so big?
[00:31.57] How you gonna fit inside this box?
[00:33.62] Which I'm tryin' hard to fit you in?
[00:36.13] Hey, Dreamer
[00:38.43] Why you gotta dream so bright?
[00:40.58] For you to dream in technicolor's
[00:43.55] Not okay, if it ain't gray
[00:46.09] If it's black and white
[00:47.04] Left, right!
[00:47.89] Right, left, right, left
[00:48.37] Left, right!
[00:49.88] Right, left, right, left
[00:50.78] Left, right!
[00:51.70] Right, left, right, left
[00:52.43] Left, right!
[00:53.57] Right, left, right, left
[00:54.76] We can move forward
[00:56.76] But don't step out of line
[00:58.71] Try to be content, this world is tintless
[01:01.64] But it's far from colorblind
[01:04.43] And I was so sure
[01:06.67] Someday I would find
[01:08.21] The crack between the black and white
[01:10.45] A fact that might ignite a change of mind, but they said
[01:14.28] Who do you think you are?
[01:16.33] What do you think you'll be?
[01:18.89] Why you run around town
[01:21.05] Thinkin' all these crazy things?
[01:23.56] That ain't true
[01:24.51] So just know your place
[01:25.58] Just wasn't meant to be
[01:28.17] Try, and you'll get a taste of good reality
[01:32.19] And they say
[01:33.41] Dream, but not too big
[01:35.30] Reach, but not too wide
[01:37.62] Think the impossible
[01:40.09] As long as it's in black and white
[01:41.96] They said
[01:42.72] Leap, but not too high
[01:44.43] Shine, but not too bright
[01:46.55] Think the impossible
[01:49.10] As long as it's in black and white, I said
[01:51.51] Left, right!
[01:52.44] Right, left, right, left
[01:53.80] Left, right!
[01:55.04] Right, left, right, left
[01:56.22] Left, right!
[01:57.37] Right, left, right, left
[01:58.01] Left, right!
[01:59.43] Right, left, right, left!
[02:00.72] You can move mountains
[02:01.93] But don't you try to climb
[02:04.31] You can write the songs
[02:05.84] Don't get me wrong
[02:06.98] Just know the words can never rhyme
[02:09.10] And I was so sure
[02:11.19] If I gave 'em a little time
[02:13.38] Maybe they'd ignore it
[02:15.55] Press fast forward
[02:16.45] But they simply pressed rewind
[02:19.19] They say
[02:19.84] Who do you think you are? (Do you think you are?)
[02:21.81] What do you think you'll be? (Think you'll be)
[02:24.29] Why you run around town
[02:26.45] Thinkin' all these crazy things?
[02:28.52] That ain't true
[02:29.92] So just know your place
[02:31.04] Just wasn't meant to be
[02:33.38] Try, and you'll get a taste of good reality
[02:36.94] And they say
[02:38.38] Dream, but not too big
[02:40.64] Reach, but not too wide
[02:42.34] Think the impossible
[02:44.79] As long as it's in black and white
[02:47.09] They said
[02:48.05] Leap, but not too high
[02:49.64] Shine, but not too bright
[02:51.91] Think the impossible
[02:54.13] As long as it's in black and white, I said
[02:56.36] Left, right!
[02:57.55] Right, left, right, left
[02:59.05] Left, right
[03:00.40] Right, left, right, left! (Right, left, right left)
[03:01.66] Left, right
[03:02.70] Right, left, right, left
[03:03.99] Left, right
[03:05.06] Right, left, right, left
[03:06.18] No dreams allowed
[03:08.77] No standing out
[03:11.12] Stay in the crowd
[03:13.72] Where it's black and white
[03:16.17] Heads in the clouds
[03:18.26] Just come back down
[03:20.34] Feet on the ground
[03:22.86] Where it's black and white
[03:24.71] Dream, but not too big (Not too big)
[03:27.06] Reach, but not too wide (Not too wide)
[03:29.18] Think the impossible
[03:31.46] As long as it's in black and white
[03:33.55] They said
[03:34.73] Leap, but not too high (I said shine, babe)
[03:36.64] Shine, but not too bright (Not too bright)
[03:38.60] Think the impossible
[03:40.98] As long as it's in black and white, I said
[03:43.24] Dreamer (Yeah, oh!)
[03:45.09] Why you gotta dream so big?
[03:46.93] How you gonna fit inside this box
[03:49.68] Which I'm tryin' hard to fit you in?
[03:51.81] Hey, Dreamer
[03:53.76] Why you gotta dream so bright?
[03:56.05] For you to dream in technicolor's
[03:59.26] Not okay, if it ain't gray
[04:01.32] If it's black and white
[04:02.45] Left, right
[04:03.33] Right, left, right, left
[04:04.32] Left, right
[04:05.44] Right, left, right, left
[04:06.40] Left, right
[04:07.40] Right, left, right, left
[04:08.41] Left, right
[04:09.62] Right, left, right, left
[04:11.43]
