I Want to Be Black

I'm so white, you're so black
 Once I go black now I'm never going back
 I'm so white, you're so black
 I wanna be at where you are at
 I'm so white, you're so black
 My skin color is a minor setback
 I'm so white, and you're so black
 I wanna trade
 From the palest gray to the darkest day
 From the whitest light to the blackest night
 I wanna be black like Malcolm X
 I wanna be black I really mean it
 I wanna be black like MLK
 I wanna be black like Morgan Freeman
 Set me free
 I'm so white, you're so black
 Once I go black now I'm never going back
 I'm so white, you're so black
 I wanna be at where you are at
 I'm so white, you're so black
 My skin color is a minor setback
 I'm so white, and you're so black
 I wanna trade
 From the palest gray to the darkest day
 From the whitest light to the blackest night
 I wanna be black like Malcolm X
 I wanna be black, I really mean it
 I wanna be black like John Amos
 I wanna be black like Morgan Freeman
 Set me free
 I will practice every day
 Won't be an embarrassment
 I'll get those subtleties down
 All the way please let me in
 To your club because I want to change
 From the palest gray to the darkest day
 From the whitest light to the blackest night.
 I wanna be black, why can't you see?
 I wanna be black, I really mean it
 I wanna be black like MLK
 I wanna be black like Morgan Freeman
 Set me free
 From the whitest light to the blackest night
