Who you callin’ colored?

When I’m born, I’m black,
When I’m grow up, I’m black,
When I’m go in the sun, I’m black,
When I’m cold, I’m black,
When I’m scared, I’m black,
When I’m sick, I’m black,
And when I die, I still black.

You white folks…
When you’re born, you’re pink,
When you grow up, you’re white,
When you go in the sun, you’re red,
When you’re cold, you’re blue,
When you’re scared, you’re yellow,
When you’re sick, you’re green,
When you’re bruised, you’re purple,
And when you die, you’re gray.

So who you callin’ colored folks?
