Tongue Forest - "And you got the f... nerve to call me coloured" (1996)
Où comment parler de racisme de manière drôle sur de la house lol

When I`m born I`m black
When I grow up I`m even more black
When I`m in the sun I`m still black
When I`m cold, guess what: I`m black
And when I die I`m fucking black too
But you:
When you are born you`re pink
When you grow up you are white
When you`re sick, man look at yourself, you`re green
When you go in the sun you turn red
When you are cold you turn blue
And when you die you look purple

CHORUS
And you got the fucking nerv to call me colored
And you got the fucking nerv to call me colored
And you got the motherfucking nerv to call me colored
So who`s colored asshole?

So you got the fucking nerv to call me colored
Shut the fuck up - just listen
And let me tell you one more time

When I`m born...

And you got the fucking nerv to call me colored
