Can't help it I was born this way
And I'm kinda feeling lonely
I'm the girl in the picture you can hardly see
Can't change the fact that I'll always be ebony
Growing up in an all white neighborhood
Family picked on me cause' my grades were good
Open my mouth and they never understood Why I said things like 'that's totally awesome dude.'
I don't fit in because I'm black and I sound white
I don't fit in because I'm black and that ain't right
I don't fit in because I sound white
No kidding I'm black but I sound white
Phone interviews go well typically
Show up and the boss is confused by what he sees
My white friends say I am uber sassy
My black friends, well I don't have any
But put me in a room with people like me
I freak out like this is not where I'm supposed to be
Travel the world and they say I don't act like the Negros that they see on the telé
I don't fit in because I'm black and I sound white
I don't fit in because I'm black and that ain't right
I don't fit in because I sound white
No kidding I'm black but I sound white
I don't fit in because I'm black and I sound white
I don't fit in because I'm black and that ain't right
I don't fit in because I sound white
No kidding I'm black but I sound white
So sick of society telling me what to be
How about just be who you are
Why's it such a crime for me to like John Mayer and pumpkin pie?
I don't fit in because I'm black and I sound white
I don't fit in because I'm black and that ain't right
I don't fit in because I'm black and I sound white
No kidding I'm black but I sound white
