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 you white fellow
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 you sick, you green
And when you die, you gray
And you calling me colored?

Ko se rodim, jaz črn
Ko odrastem, jaz črn
Ko grem na sonce, jaz črn
Ko sem prpestrašen, jaz črn
Ko mi je slabo, jaz črn
Ko umrem, jaz še vedno črn

In ti, beli človek
Ko se rodiš, ti rožnat
Ko odrasteš, ti bel
Ko greš na sonce, ti rdeč
Ko te zebe, ti plav
Ko te je strah, ti rumen
Ko ti je slabo, ti zelen
Ko umreš, ti siv
In ti praviš da sem jaz obarvan?
