We set up a jude of color
For the darker shade
Set us up to never win
Stiffling one another, slamming doors
Pushin' and shovin' each other, oh
Black diamonds and blue pearls
Small bits of sand
Made by the hand that bruised the world
Oh, black diamonds and blue pearls
Molded of clay, taught just to pray
And to be proud of
Yes we are
Black diamonds and blue pearls
