Colors by Bendu Lyrics
Vers
We’ve been on this road
For far too long
Time has come
And time has gone
There’s a war outside
On the streets
Black versus white
Race runs skin deep
How are we still here?
[Chorus]
Won't you take in my skin
Baby, take in my face
I’m not a color!
Not my color!
You know we all sin
It’s a goddamn shame
I’m not a color!
Not my color!
Vers
We're trying to win the war of races
[Mmm]
All white, black, yellow, red
Green, blue faces
But in this world a man can’t be free
If all he sees are skin colors
How are we still here?
[Chorus]
Won't you take in my skin
Baby, take in my face
I’m not a color!
Not my color!
You know we all sin
It’s a goddamn shame
I'm not a color!
Not my color!
Bridge
I'm not a color!
I'm not!
I'm not!
I'm not a color!
I'm not!
I'm not!
I'm not a color!
I'm not!
I'm not!
I'm not a color!
You're not a color!
We're not colors!
[Chorus]
Won't you take in my skin
Baby, take in my face
I’m not a color!
[How are we still here?]
Not my color!
You know we all sin
It’s a goddamn shame
I’m not a color!
[How are we still here?]
[It's a shame!]
[Such a shame!]
[What a shame!]
[Shame!]
Won't you take in my skin
Baby, take in my face
I’m not a color!
[How are we still here?]
Not my color!
You know we all sin
It’s a goddamn shame
I’m not a color!
Not my color!
We’ve been on this road
For far too long
Time has come
And time has gone
There’s a war outside
On the streets
Black versus white
Race runs skin deep
How are we still here?
[Chorus]
Won't you take in my skin
Baby, take in my face
I’m not a color!
Not my color!
You know we all sin
It’s a goddamn shame
I’m not a color!
Not my color!
