Coco Brown Baby
Sey White lady is dat yo' coco brown baby,
You totin ‘round wit yo' head all down?
You ti’ed, or shame of da Black blood in his veins?
Yo' folks won’t claim ‘em, baby daddy’s eitha
Da' chile is half of ya’ll but all of neitha
Dat‘s one of th’ ‘nigma of livin’ in our society
Wheah ever body wanna have one racial identity
Don’t git me wrong, but I’m gonna ax you this
Ya’ll even much think 'bout the consequence.
Will it be shame since yo' blood in its veins
Of it’s nappy blond hair or maybe its brown skin
Cling on to yo' chile, jus' as tight as you can.
Pray thangs will turn out the way yo planned.
Smile White lady, ya’ll got a lil’ while fo' yo' baby
Have ta deal with serious things, one day maybe
