Intro:D A G 

Verse 1:
Bm      G         Em 
Pardon me, your epidermis is showing, mister
Bm           G                 Em 
I couldn't help but note your shade of melanin
Bm        G         Em 
I tip my hat to the colorful arrangement
Bm                G            Em 
Cause I see the beauty in the tones of our skin

Pre-Chorus:
Cadd9              G                     A 
We've gotta come together and thank the maker of us all

Chorus:
D                             A          G 
We're colored people, and we live in a tainted place
D                                A           G 
We're colored people, and they call us the human race
D                       A          G 
We've got a history so full of mistakes
           D                    A          G     D   A 
D A D 
And we are colored people who depend on a Holy Grace

Verse 2:
Bm           G        Em 
А piece of canvas is only the beginning
Bm            G             Em 
It takes on character with every loving stroke
Bm              G             Em 
This thing of beauty is the passion of an artist's heart
Bm          G        Em 
By God's design, we are a skin kaleidoscope

(Pre-Chorus,Chorus)

Bridge:
Bm 
Ignorance has wronged some races
Bm 
And vengeance is the Lord's
Bm 
If we aspire to share this space
Em                     C A 
Repentance is the cure

Interlude:D A G 

Rap:
D 
Well, just a day in the shoes of a color blind man
                A               G 
Should make it easy for you to see
D 
That these diverse tones do more than cover our bones
      A               G 
As a part of our anatomy
