Choice Of Colors…Which One Would U Choose?

If you had a choice of colors

Which one would you choose my brothers

If there was no day or night

Which would you prefer to be right

How long have you hated your white teacher

Who told you, you love your black preacher

Do you respect your brother’s woman friend

And share with black folks not of kin

People must prove to the people

A better day is coming, for you and for me

With just a little bit more education

And love for our nation

Would make a better society

Now some of us would rather cuss and make a fuss

Than to bring about a little trust

But we shall overcome our beliefs someday

If you’ll only listen to what I have to say

And how long have you hated your white teacher

Who told you, you love your black preacher

Can you respect your brother’s woman friend

And share with black folks not of kin

I say now people must prove to the people

A better day is coming for you and for me

With just a little bit more education

And love for our nation

Would make a better society

And if you had a choice of colors

Which one would you choose my brothers

If there was no day or night

Which would you prefer to be right

And if you had a choice of colors

Which one would you choose my brothers

If there was no day or night

Which would you prefer to be right

If you had a choice of colors

Which one would you choose my brothers
