We The People Who Are Darker Than Blue - Curtis Mayfield (寇帝·梅菲)[00:00:00]

We people who are darker than blue [00:00:18]

Are we gonna stand around this town [00:00:24]

And let what others say come true [00:00:28]

We're just good for nothing they all figure [00:00:32]

A boyish grown up shiftless jigger [00:00:36]

Now we can't hardly stand for that [00:00:40]

Or is that really where it's at [00:00:44]

We people who are darker than blue [00:00:49]

This ain't no time for segregatin' [00:00:56]

I'm talking 'bout brown and yellow two [00:00:59]

High yellow girl can't you tell [00:01:04]

You're just the surface of our dark deep well [00:01:08]

If your mind could really see [00:01:12]

You'd know your color the same as me [00:01:16]

Pardon me brother as you stand in your glory [00:01:20]

I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story [00:01:28]

Get yourself together learn to know your side [00:03:04]

Shall we commit our own genocide [00:03:08]

Before you check out your mind [00:03:12]

I know we've all got problems [00:03:14]

That's why I'm here to say [00:03:17]

Keep peace with me and I with you [00:03:19]

Let me love in my own way [00:03:22]

Now I know we have great respect [00:04:21]

For the sister and mother it's even better yet [00:04:26]

But there's the joker in the street [00:04:34]

Loving one brother and killing the other [00:04:38]

When the time comes and we are really free [00:04:42]

There'll be no brothers left you see [00:04:46]

We people who are darker than blue [00:04:51]

Don't let us hang around this town [00:04:57]

And let what others say come true [00:05:01]

We're just good for nothing they all figure [00:05:05]

A boyish grown up shiftless jigger [00:05:10]

Now we can't hardly stand for that [00:05:13]

Or is that really where it's at [00:05:17]

Pardon me brother while you stand in your glory [00:05:25]

I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story [00:05:33]

Pardon me brother I know we've come a long long way [00:05:41]

But let us not be so satisfied for tomorrow can be an [00:05:48]

An even brighter day[00:05:55]
