Mulatto Child

So your daddy is white
          your mother is black
           What about you?
     Oh, you are just a little light.
      Do you want to live like white?
           or live like black?
      Hey man, I dont't want to fight
      Do you believe in civil rights?
            or the white hooded men who raid the night
