Todrick Hall, Superfruit - Black & White lyrics

"Hey, dreamer!
Why you gotta dream so big?
How you gonna fit inside this box
We're tryin' hard to fit you in?

Hey, dreamer!
Why you gotta dream so bright?
For you to dream in Technicolor's not okay
And it ain't right!
It's black and white!"

Left, right!
Right, left, right, left!
[4x]

"Well, you move forward
But don't step out of line
Try to be content, this world is tintless
But it's far from colorblind."

And I was so sure
Someday I would find
The crack between the black and white
A fact that might ignite a change of mind

But they said
"Who do you think you are?
What do you think you'll be?
Why you run around town
Thinkin' all these crazy things

That ain't true
So just know your place
Just wasn't meant to be
Try, and you'll get a taste
Of good reality."

And they say
"Dream, but not too big
Reach, but not too wide
Think the impossible
As long as it's in black and white."

They said
"Leap, but not too high
Shine, but not too bright
Think the impossible
As long as it's in black and white, I said..."

Left, right!
Right, left, right, left!
[4x]

"You can move mountains
But don't you try to climb!
You can write the songs
Don't get me wrong
Just know the words can never rhyme."

And I was so sure
If I gave 'em a little time
Maybe they'd ignore it
Press fast forward
But they simply pressed rewind

And they say
"Who do you think you are?
Do you think you are?
What do you think you'll be?
Think you'll be
Why you run around town
Thinkin' all these crazy things

That ain't true
So just know your place
Just wasn't meant to be
Try, and you'll get a taste
Of good reality."

And they say
"Dream, but not too big
Reach, but not too wide
Think the impossible
As long as it's in black and white."

They said
"Leap, but not too high
Shine, but not too bright
Think the impossible
As long as it's in black and white, I said..."

Left, right!
Right, left, right, left!
Left, right!
Right, left, right, left!
Right, left, right left!
Left, right!
Right, left, right, left!
Left, right!
Right, left, right, left!

"No dreams allowed
No standing out
Stay in the crowd
Where it's black and white

Heads in the clouds
Just come back down
Feet on the ground
Where it's black and white!"

And they say
"Dream, but not too big
Not too big!
Reach, but not too wide
Not too wide!
Think the impossible
As long as it's in black and white."

They said
"Leap, but not too high
I said shine, babe!
Shine, but not too bright
Not too bright!
Think the impossible
As long as it's in black and white, I said..."

"Dreamer! Yeah, oh!
Why you gotta dream so big?
How you gonna fit inside this box
We're tryin' hard to fit you in?

Hey, dreamer!
Why you gotta dream so bright?
For you to dream in Technicolor's not okay
And it ain't right!
It's black and white!"

Left, right!
Right, left, right, left!
