Elijah Kelley - Run And Tell That

I can't see Why people look at me And only see the color of my face yes they do And then there's those That try to help, god knows But have to always put me in my place Now 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!! 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 gonna feel it too Yeah. I could lie But baby. Let's be bold Vanilla 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 And That's where it's at Now run and tell that!! I'm tired of coverin' up all my pride So give me five on the black-hand side I've got a new way of movin' And i got my own voice So how can i help But to shout and rejoice 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 It's deep as a river It soars to the sky!! 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 a 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 Now run and tell that!!
