Color of My Skin (feat. Arnold Jarvis) [Swing Remix]

Hear me now

I got something to say to you

Listen carefully

Many words are spoken

For a thousand people

But no one listen to the words they feel

Can it be frustration

Or a self-expression

I think it’s the color of my skin (Tell my people)

Is it the way we’re living

People got to start forgiving

Forget about the difference (Forget about, forget about)

Color's in the way of living (Oh, yeah)

And can it be the color of my skin

That gets me down inside my mind?

Can it be the color of my skin

That wakes me up to what I feel inside?

Times are changing quickly

And people have stopped giving (You can't walk)

And you can’t walk down, on the streets you live

Killed for something crazy (Come on, people)

Is it the way we’re living? (Is it the way we're living?)

People got to start forgiving (People, people)

Forget about the difference, no, no, no

Color's in the way of living

And can it be the color of my skin

That gets me down inside my mind?

Can it be the color of my skin

That wakes me up to what I feel inside?

Can it be the color of my skin

That gets me down inside my mind?

Can it be the color of my skin

That wakes me up to what I feel inside? Come on, people

Oh, now

Oh, what you do to me

We can make it, we can make it if we try

I know we can

Yeah

No, no, no, no, no, no

(Come on, people)

Is it the way we’re living? (Is it the way?)

People got to start forgiving (Come on, people, start forgiving)

Forget about the difference, no no no (Forget about the difference)

Color's in the way of living (Oh)

Can it be, can it be the color? (I need to know)

Can it be, can it be the color?

Can it be, can it be the color? (Mother crying, baby dying)

(People lying, stop the crying, you denying)

Can it be, can it be the color? (Don't say no, you can stop, don't you go)

Can it be, can it be the color?

(Be the light, don't you stop, keep on trying, don't say no)

Can it be, can it be the color?

(You can stop, don't you know)

Don't you know?

We can make it if we try

We can make it if we try, oh, yeah

We can make it if we try (Said the world is a crazy place to live)

We can make it if we try, oh, yeah

(It makes me wanna, makes me wanna) We can make it if we try

We can make it if we try, oh, yeah

(Makes me wanna do something about it)

We can make it if we try (By myself)

We can make it if we try, oh, yeah

This is a wake-up call

Wake up, people

Said it is the color of my skin

That wakes me up

It wakes me up

Down in my mind

Times are changing

And people, you've gotta start giving

Sharing with one another

All you gotta do is

Look to the sky

Way up high
