Colored People – D.C. Talk – letras

One, One,One,One-Two,Two,Two,Two-Three,Three,Three,Three-Four,Four,Four,Four-Pardon me, your epidermis is showing, sirI couldn’t help but note your shade of melaninI tip my hat to the colorful arrangementCause I see the beauty in the tones of our skinWe gotta come together, and thank the maker of us allChorus:We’re colored people, and we live in a tainted placeWe’re colored people, and they call the human raceWe’ve got a history so full of mistakesAnd we are colored people who depend on a Holy GraceA piece of canvas is only the beginning, forIt takes on character with every loving strokeThis thing of beauty is the passion of an artist’s heartBy God’s design, we are a skin kaleidoscopeWe gotta come together, aren’t we all human after all?**(Repeat Chorus)**Ignorance has wronged some racesAnd vengeance is the Lord’sIf we aspire to share this spaceRepentance is the cureWell, 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 x2)**
