Choice Of Colors lyrics

If you had a choice of colorWhich one would you choose my brothersIf there was no day or nightWhich would you prefer to be rightHow long have you hated your white teacherWho told you, you love your black preacherDo you respect your brother's woman friendAnd share with black folks not of kinPeople must prove to the peopleA better day is coming for you and for meWith just a little bit more educationAnd love for our nationWould make a better societyNow some of us would rather cuss and make a fussThan to bring about a little trustBut we shall overcome our beliefs somedayIf you'll only listen to what I have to sayAnd how long have you hated your white teacherWho told you, you love your black preacherCan you respect your brother's woman friendAnd share with black folks not of kinI said now people must prove to the peopleA better day is coming for you and for meWith just a little bit more educationAnd love for our nationWould make a better societyAnd if you had a choice of colorsWhich on
e would you choose my brothersIf there was no day or nightWhich would you prefer to be rightAnd If you had a choice of colorsWhich one would you choose my brothersIf there was no day or nightWhich would you prefer to be right
