When I born, I Black,
When I grow up, I Black,
When I go in Sun, I Black,
When I scared, I Black,
When I sick, I Black
And when I die, I still black.
And you White fellow,
When you born, you Pink
When you grow up, you White,
When you go in Sun, you Red,
When you cold, you Blue
When you scared, you Yellow
When you sick, you Green
And when you die, you Gray
And you calling me colored?
When I born, I Black,
When I grow up, I Black,
When I go in Sun, I Black,
When I scared, I Black,
When I sick, I Black
And when I die, I still black.
And you White fellow,
When you born, you Pink
When you grow up, you White,
When you go in Sun, you Red,
When you cold, you Blue
When you scared, you Yellow
When you sick, you Green
And when you die, you Gray
And you calling me colored?
