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 darling what's the use?
The darker the chocolate, the richer the taste
That's where it's at
Now baby run and tell that(run and tell that)
Run and tell that(run and tell that)
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 darling what's the use?
The darker the chocolate, the richer the taste
That's where it's at
Baby baby run and tell that(run and tell that)
Go Run and tell that(run and tell that)
Go on run and tell that(run and tell that)
Run and tell go tell, get moving baby go run and tell that
(spoken)
Come here 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 her girl
Li'l Inez
I'm tired of coverin' up all my pride
(so give me five on the blackhand side)
I've got a new way of movin'
And I got my own voice
(so how can I help
But to shout and rejoice)
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, to the sky
Seaweed
I cant see
The reason it can't be
The kind world where we all get our chance
The time is now
So we can show 'em how
Just 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
And that's where it's at
Now run and tell that(run and tell that)
Run and tell that(run and tell that)
Run and tell that(run and tell that)
Run and tell that
