Now you know you're black
What was that old story
About Jesus ago so long
They always talked about his father
Yet they got the color wrong
I had a white a maid
A butler a slave
Demands will be made
Reperations will be paid
What was that old story
About Jesus ago so long
They always talked about his father
Yet they got the color wrong
Have you ever been hit
In the face with a snowball
You could use a facewash
Now you know you're black
Now you know you're black
Now you know you're
