When i born,i was black

When i born,i was black.

When i grow up,i was black.

When i go in sun,i was black.

When i scared,i was black.

When i sick,i was black.

when i die,i still black.

& you white fella...

When you born, you were pink.

When you grow up, you were white.

When you go in sun, you  were red.

When you cold, you were blue.

When you scared, you were yellow.

When you sick, you were green.

And when you die, you will gray...

& you

calling me colored??
