Anything bad they call it black
Anything bad they call it black
Anything bad they call it black
But black is the cream of the crop
They say when you're brown,
When you're white, you alright
But when you're black, you stay back
That isn't right, oh my gosh
Anything bad, they call it black
Why didn't they give them
You say that's what they taught us
But they can no longer fool us
Black is taking over the limelight
And they ain't no stopping us now
We're moving up to the top
Anything bad, they call it black
Anything bad, they call it black
But yes, I'm the blackest
You see, I'm not easy to be
Anything bad, they call it black
Anything bad, they call it black
But black is the cream of the crop
They say, when you're brown,
When you're white, you're alright
But when you're black, you stay back
That isn't right, oh my gosh
Anything bad, they call it black
Anything bad, they call it black
They have the black market,
call it a different color?
You see, that's what they taught us.
But they can no longer fool us.
You see, black is a frame of the cross.
