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
Run and tell that
Run and tell that
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
Run and tell that
'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 tryin' to make dollar out 'a fifteen cent
But we got a spirit money just can't buy
It's deep as a river
It soars to the sky
I can't see
The reason it can't 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
Run and tell that
Run and tell that
