Song language: English
Colored Woman |
| Some got chances, some got choices, |
| Some got freedom in these states. |
| Colored women got few chances, |
| Got few choices on our plates. |
| Mama told me there are limits |
| For dark-skinned girls stuck in this light-skinned world. |
| Once in a while i lose myself in dreams- |
| A silly girl full of silly schemes. |
| Now along comes a man whose skin is white and pale, |
| A shiny fool full of shiny tales. |
| He says he’ll make the people hear me. |
| He’ll force this world to fin’ly see me. |
| Is he a lie like ev’ry other man |
| Or lord could he somehow/ could he somehow/ |
| Could he somehow help to free me? |
| Mama told me not to dream big, |
| But mama lived her life running scared. |
| I am stronger and i’ll fight longer! |
| I’ll do what mama never even dared! |
| Colored women with few chances, |
| Has to do what she must do! |
| I will make my colored dreams come true! |
| For this is one colored woman who will color |
| Her life her way! |
