you are black
and i am white
they cant choose
what color is right
she is short
and he is tall
didnt you know
one size cant fit all
she can draw
and he can dance
i though everybody
desearved a chance
you are rich
and i am poor
that doesnt mean
your life is worth more
i am weak
and you are strong
but i can tell
my right form wrong
they say im dumb
and you are smart
but were all built the same
and the same we did start
