we the people who are darker than blue

• the impressions'ın meşhur ettiği, sonradan curtis mayfield'ın da solo kariyerinde icra etmeye devam ettiği inanılmaz güzellikteki 1 şarkısı, şu dünyanın. işte sözleri:
  
  we people who are darker than blue
  don’t let us hang around this town and let what others say come true
  we're just good for nothing, they all figure
  a boyish grown up shiftless jigger
  now we can't hardly stand for that
  or is that really where it's at
  we people who are darker than blue
  we got no time for segregating
  let’s talk about brown and yellow too
  high yellow gal can't you tell
  you're just the surface of our dark deep well
  if your mind could really see
  you'd know your color same as me
  pardon me brother as you stand in your glory
  i know you won't mind if i tell the whole story
  get yourself together, learn to take the time
  we’re committing our genocide, without even trying
  i know we've all got some problems, but the hell am i to say
  the peace we keep shall be the peace you reap
  today there’s no other way
  what goes around comes around
  now i know we have great respect for the sister, and mother
  it's even better yet
  but there's the joker in the street loving one brother and killing the other
  when the time comes and we are really free
  there'll be no brothers left you see
  we people who are darker than blue
  don't let us hang around this town
  and let what others say come true
  we’re just good for nothing they all figure
  a boyish grown up shiftless jigger
  now we can't hardly stand for that
  or is that really where it's at
  pardon me brother as you stand in your glory
  i know you won't mind if i tell the whole story
  pardon me brother, i know we've come a long long way
  but let us not be so satisfied
  for tomorrow can be an even brighter day
