Run And Tell That Lyrics

SEAWEED I can't see why people look at me And only see the color of my face Then there's those That try to help, God knows But always have to put me in my place But i won't ask you to be color blind 'Cause if you pick the fruit Then girl, you're sure to find... The blacker the berry The sweeter the juice I could say it ain't so But darlin', what's the use? The darker the chocolate The richer the taste And that's where it's at... Now baby run and tell that!! DETENTION KIDS Run and tell that! SEAWEED Oh sugar, run and tell that! DETENTION KIDS Run and tell that! SEAWEED I can't see why people disagree Each time I tell them what I know is true And if you come and see the world I'm from I bet your heart is gonna feel it too Yeah. I could lie But baby, let's be bold Vanilla can be nice But if the truth be told... The blacker the berry The sweeter the juice I could say it ain't so But darlin', what's the use The darker the chocolate The richer the taste That's where it's at Oh baby, run and tell that! DETENTION KIDS (repeat) Run and tell that! SEAWEED Come on girl This is my sister Li'l Inez! LI'L INEZ Oh I know Tracy Turnblad! Good For you girl you got on the show! TRACY Well, you better be next Li'L INEZ You got that right SEAWEED Oh you know she is you better show em' girl! LI'L INEZ I'm tired of coverin' up all my pride SEAWEED & DETENTION KIDS So give me five on the black-hand side LI'L INEZ I've got a new way of movin' And I got my own voice SEAWEED & DETENTION KIDS So how can I help But to shout and rejoice LI'L INEZ The people 'round here Can barely pay their rent They're try'n to make dollar Out 'a fifteen cent But we got a spirit Money just cant buy It's deep as a river And soars to the sky! SEAWEED I cant see The reason it cant be The kinda world where we all get our chance The time is now And we can show ?em how To turn the music up and let's all dance 'Cause all things are equal When it comes to love Well, that ain't quite true 'Cause when push comes to shove... The blacker the berry The sweeter the juice I could say it ain't so But darlin', what's the use The darker the chocolate The richer the taste That's where it's at SEAWEED & DETENTION KIDS ...Now run and tell that! DETENTION KIDS (repeat) Run and tell that!
