When I born, I
black
When I grow up, I
black
When I go in Sun, I
black
When I scared, I
black
When I sick, I
black
And when I die, I still
black
And you white
fellow
When you born, you
pink
When you grow up, you
white
When you go in sun, you
red
When you cold, you
blue
When you scared, you
yellow
When you sick, you
green
And when you die, you
gray
And you calling me
coloured?
