Dear white fellow,

Couple of things the English ignore: when I born, I black. When I grow up, I black. When I cold, I black. When I go in the sun, I black. When I scared, I black. When I sick, I black and when I die, I still black.

You, white fellow, when you born, you . When you grow up, you . When you cold, you . When you go in the sun, you . When you scared, you . When you sick, you and when you die, you . And you have the cheek to call me coloured! Ha ha ha!
