Run And Tell That - Karaoke Version

Lyrics

can't see
 Why people look at me
 And only see the color of my face
 And then there's those
 That try to help, god knows
 But have to always put me in my place
 but i won't ask you to be color 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', what's the use?
 The darker the chocolate
 The richer the taste
 And that's where it's at...
 ...now run and tell that!!
 ENSEMBLE
 Run and tell that!
 SEAWEED
 Run and tell that!
 ENSEMBLE
 Run and tell that!
 SEAWEED (& ENSEMBLE)
 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
 1 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', what's the use
 The darker the chocolate
 The richer the taste
 That's where it's at
 Now run and tell that!!
 ENSEMBLE
 Run and tell that!
 SEAWEED
 Come on girl, This is my sister Li'l Inez!
 LI'L INEZ
 Oh I know Tracy Turnblad! Good For you girl you got on the show!
 TRACY
 Well you better be next
 Li'L INEZ
 You got that right.
 SEAWEED
 Oh you know she is you better show em' girl!
 LI'L INEZ
 I'm tired of coverin' up all my pride
 SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE
 So give me five on the black-hand side
 LI'L INEZ
 I've got a new way of movin'
 And i got my own voice
 SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE
 So how can i help
 But to shout and rejoice
 LI'L INEZ
 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
 LI'L INEZ & ENSEMBLE
 It's deep as a river
 And soars to the sky!!
 SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE
 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 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', what's the use
 The darker the chocolate
 The richer the taste
 That's where it's at
 SEAWEED
 ...Now run and tell that!!
 ENSEMBLE
 Run and tell that!
 SEAWEED
 Run and tell that!!
