Run and Tell That

Hey, I can't see why people look at
me and only see the color of my face
Oh, yeah
And then there's those that try to help
God knows, but always have to 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 darling, what's the use?
The darker the chocolate, the richer the taste
And that's where it's at
Now, baby, run and tell that (run and tell that)
Oh, sugar, run and tell that (run and tell that)

Hey, yeah
I can't see why people disagree each
time I tell them what I know is true, no, no
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 can be nice, but if the truth be told
The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
I could say it ain't so, but darling, what's the use?
The darker the chocolate, the richer the taste
And that's where it's at
Oohh, baby, baby, run and tell that (run and tell that)
Oh, sugar, go run and tell that (run and tell that)
G-g-go on and run and tell that (run and tell that)
Hey, yeah, run and tell, go tell
Keep moving, baby, run and tell that (run and tell that)
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, woo, oohh

I'm tired of covering up all my pride
(so give me five on the black hand side)
I've got a new way of moving and I got my own
voice (so how I can help but should and rejoice?)
Oh, the people 'round here can barley pay their rent
They're trying to make dollar out of 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 can't be the kinda world that where we all get our chance, yeah
The time is now
So we can show them how to turn the music up and let's all dance, yeah

'Cause, all things are equal when it comes to love
Well, that ain't quite true, 'cause, when push comes to shove
The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
I could say it ain't so, but darling, what's the use?
The darker the chocolate, the richer the taste
And that's where it's at
Now, baby, baby, baby, run and tell that (run and tell that)
Yeah, run and tell that (run and tell that)
Oh, baby, go run and tell that (run and tell that)
G-g-g-g-go on girl and run and tell that, that, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
