Tomorrow I will be

up stairs when company

comes over and no one

Will dare say to me

go in the basement

They will beg me

To come up stairs

Because they all

Know how ashamed

They are

I’ll never have to worry

About tomorrow being monday

and Having to hear the doorbell ring

And have to run straight down stairs

 

Tomorrow I will be

up stairs when company

comes over and no one

Will dare say to me

go in the basement

They will beg me

To come up stairs

Because they all

Know how ashamed

They are

I’ll never have to worry

About tomorrow being monday

and Having to hear the doorbell ring
And have to run straight down stairs

 

I am not the lighter

Brother but I will be

Respected when

company comes over

I won't play and

talk to myself

I will be playing and

Talking to the company

Now that I am stronger

And the color of my skin doesn't

Matter if I can come upstairs

Or down stairs

When company comes over

I will never have to hear the doorbell

and run down stairs
