Something to Believe In Lyrics


If you had a choice of colors
Which one would you choose, my brothers
If there was no day or night
Which would you prefer to be rightHow long have you hated your white teacher
Who told you, you love your black preacher
Do you respect your brother's woman friend
And share with black folks, not of kinPeople must prove to the people
A better day is coming for you and for me
With just a little bit more education
And love for our nation, would make a better societyNow some of us would rather cuss and make a fuss
Than to bring about a little trust
But we shall overcome our beliefs someday
If you'll only listen to what I have to sayAnd how long have you hated your white teacher
Who told you, you love your black preacher
Can you respect your brother's woman friend
And share with black folks, not of kinI said, now people must prove to the people
A better day is coming for you and for me
With just a little bit more education

And love for our nation, would make a better societyAnd if you had a choice of colors
Which one would you choose, my brothers
If there was no day or night
Which would you prefer to be rightIf you had a choice of colors
Which one would you choose my brothers

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Curtis Mayfield (June 3, 1942 – December 26, 1999) was an American soul, funk and rhythm and blues, singer-songwriter and guitarist from Chicago, Illinois. Mayfield is probably best known for his anthemic music with The Impressions and for the soundtrack to the blaxploitation film Superfly. Perhaps because he didn't cross over to the pop audience as heavily as Motown's stars, it may be that the scope of Curtis Mayfield's talents and contributions have yet to be fully recognized. Judged merely by his records alone, the man's legacy is enormous.
