When i was born ,i am black

when i will grow up ,i am black

when i go out in sun, i am black

when i am scared, i am black

when i am sick, i am black

and when i will die, i am still black

& U white fella :

when you were born, you are pink

when you are grow up, you are white

when you go in sun, you are red

when you are cold, you are blue

when you are scared, you are yellow


when you are sick, you are green

and when you will die, you are gray

and you are calling me colored??
