And You Call me Colored?

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,

blackAnd when I die, I still ...

And you white fellow,

When you born, you Pink,

When you grow up, you White,

When you go in sun, you Red,

When yzou cold, you Blue

when you scared, you Yellow,

When you sick, you Green,

And when you die, you Gray...

And you call me colored!?
