Lily White Mama And Jet Black Daddy

Lyrics Information

well my mama was a lily white
my daddy was jet black
got me so confused
I don't even know where it's at
one hand white
the other black
I got me a major problem
can I get an amen with that
(amen)
but I don't know
there gotta be a way
to get to this answers

and I don't know who was wrong or right
and I don't want to cast no blame
but didn't willie lee jones have to be my name
I don't know (yeah)
I don't know which way to go
I don't know
I don't know which way to go (yeah)
whoa mama, whoa daddy
one of these colors has got to go
(hey)
now look here
sugar hill don't want me
the ghetto turned me down
I guess there ain't no room
for a black white boy in town
one hand white
the other black
I got a problem
can I get an amen with that
whoa mama, whoa daddy
one of these colors has got to go
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know which way to go
I don't know (I don't know)
I don't know which way to go
whoa mama, whoa daddy
one of these colors has got to go
(one more time)
I don't know (I don't know)
I don't know (I don't know)
I don't know (I don't know)
I don't know which way to go
I don't know (I don't know)
I don't know which way to go
whoa mama, whoa daddy
one of these colors has got to go
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
one of these colors
just got
just got to go (think ya'll got that)
