Run and Tell That

Hey
 I can't see why people look at me and only see the colour of my face
 And then there's those that try to help God knows but always have to put me in my place
 Now i won't ask you to be colourblind
 Cause if you pick the fruit, then girl you're sure to find
 The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
 Now i can 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
 Now run and tell that uh ha run and tell that
 (Run and tell that)
 Hey
 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 going to feel it too
 Now i can't 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
 Now i can 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
 Oh no baby, baby
 Run and tell that
 'Hey, you're Tracy
 You're my favourite dancer on the Corny Collins Show
 This is my sister, Little Inez
 I saw you at the auditions
 And you got on the show, good for you because they kicked me out of my young, gifted and black behind
 Show em what you got girl'
 I'm tired of covering up all my pride
 (So give me five on the black hand side)
 I got a new way of moving and i got my own voice
 (So how can i help but to shout and rejoice)
 Oh, the people round here can barely pay their rent
 They try to make a dollar out of fifteen cents
 But we got a spirit money just can't buy
 It's deep as a river and soars to the sky
 To the sky
 Oh, i can't a reason it can't be the kind of world where we all get our chance
 Yeah
 (The time is now) So we can show them how
 Just turn the music up and let's all 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
 Now i can 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
 (That's where it's at)
 Now run and tell that
 You better run and tell that
 Oh sugar
 Go run and tell
 You, you, you better run and tell that
 Hey
 Hey oh that
 Hey
