Run and tell that
I can't see why people look at me
And only see the colour of my face
Then there's those
That try to help, God knows
But always have to put me in my place
But I wont ask you to be colour blind
Cause if you pick the fruit
Then girl, you're sure to find...
The blacker the berry
The sweeter the juice
I could say it ain't so
But darlin, whats the use
The darker the chocolate
The richer the taste
And thats where it's at
Now baby Run And Tell That
Run And Tell That!!!
Oh sugar, Run And Tell That
I can't see why people disagree
Each time I tell them what I know is true
And if you come and see the world I'm from
I bet your heart is gonna feel it too
Yeah, I could lie
But baby, let's be bold
Vanilla can be nice
But if the truth be told...
The blacker the berry
The sweeter the juice
I could say it ain't so
But darlin' whats the use
The darker the chocolate
The richer the taste
That's where it's at
Oh baby Run And Tell That!!
Run And Tell That!
Come here girl. This is my sister, Lil' Inez.
Oh, I know Tracy Turnblad
Good for you girl, you got on the show
Well, you better be next.
You got that right.
Oh, you know she is, you better show her girl.
I'm tired of coverin' up my pride
So give me a five on the black-hand side
I've got a new way of movin
And I got my own voice
So, how can I help
But to shout and rejoice
The people 'round here
Can barely pay their rent
They're try'n to make a dollar
Out 'a fifteen cent
But we got a spirit
Money just can't buy
It's deep as a river
And soars to the sky, to the sky!!
I can't see
The reason it can't be
The kinda world where we all get our chance.
The time is now
So we can show 'em how
Just turn the music up and let's dance
Cause all things are equal
When it comes to love
Well, that ain't quite true
Cause when push comes to shove...
The blacker the berry
The sweeter the juice
I could say it ain't so
But darlin' whats the use
The darker the chocolate
The richer the taste
And thats where its at
...Now Run And Tell That!!
Run And Tell That!
