Stay sweet my momma told me
I was in school, elementary and
Finding out I was different from my peers


And I , just wanted to blend right in
But my tan hands said different, I

Couldn't see the sweet Side of things

She sat me down, bought an Ice cream cone

Told me, listen up & listen long
Your color your shade, is perfect
Nothings wrong


What you can't see is we're all born
With the same sugar & the same love

life just added color to yours

But underneath we're the same human beings

All kinds of sweet, just love wrapped differently

I tell you

We're all just chocolate people
Rather you're brown white or in the middle
Love is sweet, no race no color

Baby We're all just chocolate people

Youre sweet he used to tell me

Loved my brown skin & my hair curly
I was growing up, trying different things


And I , didn't care that we stood out
When we held hands in a crowd
His color, my color, made no difference to me


I used to , take his hand and compare mine
we had the, same veins & the same lines

Your chocolate, my chocolate, blends
oh So well indeed


See what I could see, is that we we're born
with the same sugar & the same love
your color meant nothing to me


cuz underneath we're the same kinda being
all kinds of sweet, just wrapped up differently


We're all just chocolate people
Rather you're brown white or in the middle

Sugar is sweet don't matter the color
I promise we're all just chocolate people
Just people
