Ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh woo!
I can't see why people
Look at me and only see the color of my face
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 choc'late
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 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 darlin', what's the use
The darker the choc'late
The richer the taste
That's where it's at
Woo! Now run and tell
that!!
(Run and tell that!)
Run and tell
that!!
(Run and tell that!)
Now run and tell
that!!
(Run and tell that!)
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 a dollar outta fifteen cent"
But we got a spirit money just cant buy
It's deep as a river and soars to the sky!
I cant 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 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 choc'late
The richer the taste
That's where it's at
Woo! Now run and tell
that!!
(Run and tell that!)
Now run and tell
that!!
(Run and tell that!)
Now run and tell
that!!
(Run and tell that!)
Now run and tell
that!!
