We People Who Are Darker Than Blue |
| We people who are darker than blue |
| Are we gonna stand around this town and let what others say come true |
| We’re just good for nothing they all figure |
| A boyish grown up shiftless jigger |
| Now we can’t hardly stand for that |
| Or is that really where it’s at |
| We people who are darker than blue |
| This ain’t no time for segregating |
| I’m talking 'Bout brown and yellow too |
| high yellow gal can’t you tell |
| You’re just the surface of our dark deep well |
| If your mind could really see |
| You’d know your color same as me, |
| Pardon me brother as you stand in your glory |
| I know you won’t mind if I tell the whole story |
| Get yourself together, learn to know your sign |
| Shall we commit our genocide before we check out our mind |
| I know we’ve all got problems that’s why I’m here to say |
| Keep peace with me and I with you |
| Let me love in my own way |
| Now I know we have great respect for the sister, and mother |
| It’s even better yet |
| But there’s the joker in the street loving one brother and killing the other |
| When the time comes and we are really free |
| There’ll be no brothers left you see |
| We people who are darker than blue |
| Don’t let us hang around this town |
| And let what others say come true |
| We’re just good for nothing they all figure |
| A boyish grown up shiftless jigger |
| Now we can’t hardly stand for that |
| Or is that really where it’s at |
| Pardon me brother, I know we’ve come a long long way |
| Let us stop being so satisfied |
| For tomorrow can be an even brighter day |
