when i born, i black when i grow up, i black

when i go in sun, i black when i cold, i black

when i scared , i black when i sick, i black

&

when i die, i still black

but you white fella......


when you born, 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 yuo sick , you green
