I can't see 
Why people look at me 
And only see the color of my face 
yes they do 
And then there's those 
That try to help, god knows 
But have to always put me in my place 
Now i won't ask you to be color blind 
'Cause if you pick the [bad word] 
Then girl, you're sure to find... 

The blacker the berry 
The sweeter the juice 
I could say it ain't so 
But darlin', what's the use? 
The darker the chocolate 
The richer the taste 
And that's where it's at...  [bad word] and tell that!!

I can't see 
Why people disagree 
Each time i tell them what i know is [bad word] 
And if [bad word] 
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 be nice 
But if the [bad word] be told... 

The blacker the berry 
The sweeter the juice 
I could say it ain't so 
But darlin', what's the use 
The darker the chocolate 
The richer the taste 
And That's where it's at  [bad word] and tell that!!

I'm tired of coverin' up all my pride
So give me 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 dollar 
Out 'a fifteen cent" 
But we got a spirit 
Money just cant buy
It's deep as a river 
It soars to the sky!!

I cant see 
The reason it cant be 
The kinda world where we all get our chance 
The time is now 
And we can show them how 
To turn the music up and let's all dance 
Cause all things are equal 
When [bad word] to love 
Well, that ain't quite [bad word] 
'Cause when a [bad word] to shove... 

The blacker the berry 
The sweeter the juice 
I could say it ain't so 
But darlin', what's the use 
The darker the chocolate 
The richer the taste 
That's where it's at [bad word] and tell that!!
