,When I bo, 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 bo, 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!?
