Colorblind |
I grew up in a town, in a home where we all got along |
And our color was overlooked |
I was taught that a face and a name didn’t make it ok |
To put somebody below the rest |
Why this hatred, separation |
I will never understand it, we’re no better |
I don’t see a difference |
Enough with the ignorance, wake up |
You filter by race, never learned to embrace other shades |
Well I don’t care, I play fair |
You guard the pedestal I wanna share |
While you win and hoard your prize |
I’d rather be colorblind |
Noon was art, where we’d tidy our desk and begin with a canvas |
As white as the winter snow |
Answer this, without all of the paints and our big box of pencils |
How could we have learned to create |
Why this hatred, isolation |
I will never understand it, they deserve better |
I don’t see a difference |
Enough with the ignorance, wake up |
You filter by race, never learned to embrace other shades |
Well I don’t care, I play fair |
You guard the pedestal I wanna share |
While you win and hoard your prize |
I’d rather be colorblind |
Red is to blue is to green is to gold |
Owning a beauty that can’t be controlled |
Give up allow them to brighten your soul |
Unfold, unfold, unfold |
White is to black is to brown is to grey |
Equally worthy despite what you say |
Maybe you’ll turn and retire your ways |
Someday, someday, someday |
I don’t see a difference |
Enough with the ignorance, wake up |
You filter by race, never learned to embrace other shades |
Well I don’t care, I play fair |
You guard the pedestal I wanna share |
I see clear, hidden fear |
Uneducated, supremacist, coward my dear |
While you win and hoard your prize |
I’d rather be colorblind, I’d rather be colorblind |
I’d rather be colorblind, I’d rather be colorblind |
