Pardon me your epidermis is showing mister
I couldn’t help but note your shade of melanoma (shade of melanoma)
I tip my hat to the colorful arrangement,
Cuz I, see the beauty in the tones of our skin
We’ve got to come together (come together), and thank The Maker of us all
We're colored people and we live in a tainted place (colored people)
We're colored people and they call us the human race (colored people)
We’ve got a history so full of mistakes, (colored people)
And we are colored people who depend on a Holy Grace
One (one, one, one), Two (two, two, two),
Three (three, three), Four (four, four)
A piece of canvas is only the beginning for,
It takes on character with every lovin’ stroke
This thing of beauty is the passion of an Artist’s heart,
By Gods design, we are a skin kaleidoscope
We’ve got to come together (come together)
Aren’t we all human after all?…
We're colored people and we live in a tainted place (colored people)
Were colored people and they call us the human race (colored people)
We’ve got a history so full of mistakes cuz (colored people)
We are colored people (colored people)
Who depend on a Holy Grace
Ignorance has wronged some races
And vengeance is the Lords (vengeance is the Lords)
If we aspire to share this space (if we aspire)
Repentance is the cure (repentance is the cure)
One (one, one, one), Two (two, two, two), Ooh, yea,
Three (three, three), Four (four, four)…..
Well, just a day in the shoes of a color blind man
Should make it easy for you to see,
That these diverse tones do more than cover our bones
As a part of our anatomy.
