"Colour"
When I born,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 Ü White fellows
When U born,U pink
When U grow up,U white
When U go in sun,U red
When U cold,U blue
When U scared,U yellow
When U sick,U green
When U die,U grey
And U call me coloured
