No one wanted to be someone like me
Ebony!
Ebony!
I repeated every night
It was the most beautiful word I was called if I was not white
No one wanted to be someone like me
Fight!
Fight!
Is what I did for my rights
I would always come back late in the night
No one wanted to be someone like me
Rosa!
Rosa!
Is what people began to shout
I've made a change without a doubt
It's a funny thing
Over time people wanted to be someone like me
