,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 call me colored!?
