Choice Of Colour - Wayne Wade

Oh yeah

If you had a choice of color

Which one would you choose my brothers

If there was no day or night

Which would you prefer to be right

How long have you hated your white teacher

Who told you

To love your black preacher

Do you respect your brother's woman friend

And share with black folks not of kin

People must prove to the people

A better day is coming

For you and for me

With just a little bit more

Education

And love for our nation would

Make a better society

Now some of us

Would rather cuss and make a fuss

Than to bring about a little trust

But we shall overcome our beliefs someday

If you'll only listen to what I have to say

How long have you hated your white teacher

Who told you

To love your black preacher

And do you respect your brother's woman friend

And share with black folks not of kin

People must prove to the people

A better day is coming

For you and for me

With just a little bit more

Education

And love for our nation would

Make a better society

If you had a choice of colors

Which one would you choose my brothers

If there was no day or night

Which would you prefer to be right

How long have you hated your white teacher

And do told you

You must love your black preacher

Do you respect your brother's woman friend

And share with black folks not of kin

People must prove to the people

A better day is coming

For you and for me
