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 still black 

And for 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
