colored woman - colored woman lyrics
some got chances
some got choices
some got freedom
in these days
colored women
got few chances
got few choices
on her plates
mamma told me there are limits
for dark skinned girls
stuck in this
light skinned world
once in a while
i lose myself in dreams
silly girl
full of silly schemes
now along comes a man
whose skin is white
a shiny fool
for love, shine again
he says he’ll make the people
hear me
he will force this world
to finally see me
is he a lie
like every other man?
oh lord, could he somehow
could he somehow
could he somehow
help to free?
mamma told me
not to dream big
but mamma lived her life
runnin’ scared
i am stronger
and i will fight longer
i’ll do what mamma never
even dared
colored woman with few chances
has to do what she must do
i will make my
colored dreams come true
oh, this is one colored woman
who will color her life away
