[1, 1, 1, 1... 2, 2, 2, 2... 3, 3, 3, 3... 4, 4, 4, 4]Pardon me, your epidermis is showing, sirI couldnt help but note your shade of melaninI tip my hat to the colorful arrangementCause I see the beauty in the tones of our skinWeve gotta come togetherAnd thank the maker of us all(chorus)Were colored people, and we live in a tainted placeWere colored people, and they call us the human raceWeve got a history so full of mistakesAnd we are colored people who depend on a holy grace[1, 1, 1, 1... 2, 2, 2, 2... 3, 3, 3, 3... 4, 4, 4, 4]A piece of canvas is only the beginning forIt takes on character with every loving strokeThis thing of beauty is the passion of an artists heartBy gods design, we are a skin kaleidoscopeWeve gotta come together,Arent we all human after all?(repeat chorus)Ignorance has wronged some racesAnd vengeance is the lordsIf we aspire to share this spaceRepentance is the cure[1, 1, 1, 1... 2, 2, 2, 2... 3, 3, 3, 3... 4, 4, 4, 4]Well, just a day in the shoes of a color blind manShould make it easy for you to seeThat these diverse tones do more than cover our bonesAs a part of our anatomy(repeat chorus)Were colored people, and they call us the human race[oh, colored people]Were colored people, and we all gotta share this space[yeah weve got to come together somehow]Were colored people, and we live in a tainted world[red and yellow, black and white]Were colored people, every man, woman, boy, and girl[colored people, colored people, colored people, colored people, yeah]
