D, A, G
Pardon me, your epidermis is showing, sir
I couldnt help but note your shade of melanin
I tip my hat to the colorful arrangement
Cause I see the beauty in the tones of our skin
Weve gotta come together
And thank the maker of us all
(chorus)
Were colored people, and we live in a tainted place
Were colored people, and they call us the human race
Weve got a history so full of mistakes
And we are colored people who depend on a holy grace
A piece of canvas is only the beginning for
It takes on character with every loving stroke
This thing of beauty is the passion of an artists heart
By gods design, we are a skin kaleidoscope
Weve gotta come together,
Arent we all human after all?
(repeat chorus)
Ignorance has wronged some races
And vengeance is the lords
If we aspire to share this space
Repentance is the cure
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
(repeat chorus)
Were colored people, and they call us the human race
Were colored people, and we all gotta share this space
Were colored people, and we live in a tainted world
Were colored people, every man, woman, boy, and girl
