Country boy in the city life
Learn the rules and play it right
Sometimes you're bound to fall
Hold on to yourself and rise
We're talking about black joy
You know brother that's where it's at
Oh black joy, black joy, black joy
Take a chance and make it soon
The big city's got lots of room
You can rise above the crowd
Get it on, and say it loud
Oh, no, no, no, it's a natural dynamite
Ooh, and you know that it's out of sight
Black joy, black joy, black joy
Love your woman and be a man
Feel the touch of a gentle hand
You see the world can drift away
And joy is what you've got today
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
We're talking about black joy
We're talking about joy, joy, joy
You got sunshine on your face
You're pretty cool and you won the race
Joy is what you've got to share
Sing it loud and feel the air
Oh no no no, you got joy, joy,
joy, you got it inside you
