Richly Black Project - Present

Momma said

If you was light

We could buy a bed

Sit up at night

If you was just a little yellow

Hello!

Lord gave me this tar-baby

Save me

What ah go do wid you

Our future blue

Not blue-eyed rich

Just blue

With a rip and a stitch

Lord, save me

And this tar-baby

Be less you

Be more blue

Blue-eyed baby

Save me

Light yellow hair

Straight fun fare

Not black

Skin too dark

Mind too light

Lips too thick

Nose too broad

Hair too curly

For the insides

Of a bank

Too much of you

Is present intellect

Skin too dark
