This is not a black and white world To be alive I say that the colors must swirl And I believe That maybe today We will all get to appreciate The beauty of gray It's not easy bein' green It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're not standing out Like flashy sparkles on the water or stars in the sky" "The world is black, the world is white. It turns by day, and then by night. The child is black, the child is white. The whole world looks upon the sight, a beautiful sight." Free at last, we should be free at last Not prisoners of the past, divided by races. Kind of strange, though we're all 'bout the same Somehow these lines remain, We stay in our places. And what does the color of the skin Have to do with the person within" Mr. Cab Driver wont you stop to let me in. Mr. Cab Driver dont like my kind of skin. Mr. Cab Driver dont like the way I look. He dont like dreads he thinks were all crooks "I'm proud to be Black y'all And that's a fact y'all And if you try to take what's mine I'll take it back y'all It's like that"
