歌曲歌詞
Some got chances some got choices
Some got freedom in these states
Colored women got few chances
Got few choices on our plates
Mama told me there are limits
For darkskinned girls stuck in this lightskinned world
Once in a while I lose myself in dreams
A silly girl full of silly schemes
Now along comes a man whose skin is white and pale
A shiny fool full of shiny tales
He says he'll make the people hear me
He'll force this world to fingly see me
Is he a lie like ev'ry other man
Or Lord could he some how could he some how
Could he somehow help to free me
Mama told me not to dream big
But mama lived her life running scared
I am stronger and I'll fight longer
I'll do what mama never even dared
Coloured women with few chances
Has to do what she must do
I will make my coloured dreams come true
For this is one coloured woman who will colour
Her life her way
