Hey I know
You love the colors of the rainbow
From the green to the red to the indigo
And don't forget about the other shades as well
Who can tell
My friend Liz
She's in the Christian biz
Sometimes she gets scattered, she don't know where she is
Like one time years ago
She had to bite her tongue
When she asked someone
How long How long How long have you been Haitian?
Can't you Can't you see the elation
On my face On my face On my face
On my face On my face when you tell me your race?
Oh yeah
In my dreams
I can taste the colors of the sun-kissed beams
I can play a game of volleyball and be on both teams
I can eat a stalk of broccoli, and be it too
How 'bout you?
In my room
I can be the princess of the shower of doom
I can keep all of your wrinkles in a bottle of gloom
I can look at a computer screen and see your face
I see outer space
How long How long How long have you been Haitian?
Can't you Can't you see the elation
On my face On my face On my face
On my face On my face when you tell me your race?
Oh yeah
C.O.B.
We got the beat, we got the gravy
G to the R to the A to the V to the E E E
All them dirty mothers in the SPEC
They can all bite me
We don't write songs
About raunchy sex or diamond rings or girls in thongs
We just know that our friends like to sing along
So we play these tunes to make them smile
And chill out for awhile
How long How long How long have you been Haitian?
Can't you Can't you see the elation
On my face On my face On my face
On my face On my face when you tell me your race?
Oh yeah
