My entry to the Transglobal Thursday Fun-Challenge "Black". For some reason, the title of this song (originally written by Stevie Wonder, but I only know Gary Bartz's version with Andy Bey on keyboards and vocals), was the first thing that came to my mind when I learned about this week's topic. The lyrics are as follows.

Black Maybe

Black maybe or maybe it's just what you say
Black maybe or maybe this is just your colour for today
You've seen the way they've done your boy
And the boy's still down after three hundred years
Like maybe you better come around

Black maybe or maybe you just talkin' trash
Black maybe yeah or maybe your colour I better not ask
You've seen the way they done your boy
And the boy's still crying for days in and days out
Black woman you better wash your man's tears away

Maybe you're red, or maybe you're green
But your real colour l've never seen
Oh oh black maybe or maybe you're just talkin' trash
Tell me black maybe or really would you rather for me not to ask
You see the time is running out and your man's been sad
For ages and ages and ages
Black maybe it's time for you to wake up, come around, come around
