I'm a white dread, I'm a white dread, so?
I'm a got a ring and I hang it through my nose
Got a little game, take it to the park
Don't care who plays, long as the game is onSister and her boyfriend slept in the park
Had to leave home because he was dark
Now they parade around in New York with a baby boy
He's gorgeous, ain't nobody leaving, let's goNo one is leavin'Blacks call each other 'brother' and 'sis'
Count me in because I've been missed
I've seen color changed by a kiss
Go ask my brother and my sisterSister and her boyfriend slept in the park
Had to leave home because he was dark
Now they parade around in New York with a baby boy
He's gorgeous, ain't nobody leaving, act wildNo one is leavin'No one is leavin'And that's right
And that's so, goI wish I knew everyone's nickname
All their slang and all their sayings
Every way would show affection
How to dress to fit the occasionNow I wish we all waved
All waved
All waved
I wish we all
Wish we all
Wish we all waved
