        She wants a lover right now
        But not no brother
        Her man gotta have a lotta money
        To get under her cover
        Now she's a fine sister
        But up here she's missin' it
        She says she wanna learn about life
        No old black bull shit
        At the age of 15 a brother gave her a baby
        She's 19 now and it drover her crazy
        And now everytime
        She turns around
        All the people in the neighborhood
        Look and get mand and sing

        CHORUS

        Meet Mr. Succesful
        I guess he's blessed yeah
        But he happens to be a brother
        Who only wants blue eyes and blonde hair
        Now this young mister
        He don't like sisters
        He couldn't find that special one
        He know why he missed her
        He says sisters wasn't good enuff
        They only wanted his green stuff
        That's why everytime he turned
        Around all the people
        In the neighborhood
        Looked and got mad
        And sang

        CHORUS

        I try to tell my people
        There should not be any hatred
        For a brother or a sister
        Whose opposite race they've mated
        No man is God
        And God put us all here (yeah)
        But this system has no wisdom
        The devil split us in pairs
        And taught us White is good, Black is bad
        And Black and White is still too bad
        That's why everytime I turn around
        All the people in my neighborhood
        Look mad and sing..

        CHORUS
