mitch darrell - colorless african lyrics
in my youth i was always called white because i…wore clothes that fit and ..i used correct grammar and used manners
mitch is a white name apparently but not the way my parents see it i mean they just wanted their son to have a nice name. and speakin of parents yes i have both. both successful and smart
but from a young age i was the only black student in my cl-sses. white suburbia. everybody hates chris was my reality. not a fallacy. didn’t bother me though i mean it’s all i knew. where people were just people to me. and i was a person. not a black person or a non-white person but a person just the same as them. as i got older i recognized my culture and color a bit more
middle schoolers introduced a few more black students than i was used to. i refused to ignore them because i mean how could i… they looked like me and i was on the football team with em so why not. i got.. to know them a learned that we had a ton in common. music, sports, interests. i fit in a good bit but
not all of them sounded like me. i talked “white” and they talked “black” or something like that. i dressed white and they dressed black i guess. whatever that means. that’s just what the white students told me. “you’re white mitch you’re not black!”.. but i was black wasn’t i? i’d look in the mirror and i certainly wasn’t just tan. i was black i thought
“you ever wish you were white mitch? you ever think god made a mistake with you and you’re supposed to be white ?”
what kinda.. what sorta question was that? god doesn’t make mistakes as far as i know. does he? no no he doesn’t. no i’m black and proud . but before all things i am a human being. my soul is colorless i think. and now that i’m 20 i’ve leaned how to separate things. i am a person yes and we are all people. but i am also proud to be if african decent . i’m proud of my skin and knotted hair. i am black and that’s a fact. but my soul is colorless
