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

Written by：Curtis Mayf[00:00:03]

We people who are darker than blue[00:00:30]

Are we gonna stand around this town[00:00:35]

And let what others say come true[00:00:38]

We're just good for nothing they all figure[00:00:42]

A boyish grown up shiftless jigger[00:00:47]

Now we can't hardly stand for that[00:00:50]

Or is that really where it's at[00:00:55]

We people who are darker than blue[00:00:58]

This ain't no time for segregating[00:01:03]

I'm talking 'bout brown and yellow two[00:01:07]

High yellow girl can't you tell[00:01:11]

You're just the surface of our dark deep well[00:01:15]

If your mind could really see[00:01:19]

You'd know your color same as me[00:01:22]

Pardon me brother as you stand in your glory[00:01:26]

I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story[00:01:33]

Story[00:03:41]

Get yourself together[00:03:44]

Learn to know your side[00:03:49]

Shall we commit own genocide[00:03:54]

Before we check out our mind[00:03:58]

I know we've all got problems[00:04:04]

That's why I'm here to say[00:04:06]

Keep peace with me and I with you[00:04:08]

Let me love in my own way[00:04:11]

Now I know we have great respect[00:04:50]

For the sister and mother it's even better yet[00:04:56]

But there's the joker in the street[00:05:03]

Loving one brother and killing the other[00:05:06]

When the time comes and we are really free[00:05:11]

There'll be no brothers left you see[00:05:15]

We people who are darker than blue[00:05:20]

Don't let us hang around this town[00:05:25]

And let what others say come true[00:05:28]

We're just good for nothing they all figure[00:05:32]

A grown up jigger well[00:05:38]

Now we can't hardly stand for that[00:05:41]

Or is that really where it's at[00:05:45]

Pardon me brother and you stand in your glory[00:05:52]

I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story[00:05:59]

Pardon me brother I know we've come a long long way[00:06:07]

But let us not be so satisfied for tomorrow[00:06:13]

For tomorrow can be an even brighter day[00:06:21]
