"Colour"
When I born, I black ;

when I grow up I black

when I go in sun I black ;

When I scared , I black;

when I sick , I black ;

And when I die , I sill black ;

And u white fellows ;

When u born , u pink ;

When u grow up , u white ;

When u go in sun ; u red ;

When u cold , u blue ;

When u scared , u yellow ;

When u sick , u green ;

When u die , u grey ;

And u call me coloured
