What Colour Are the Angels, Mama by Dele Farotimi

What Color Are The Angels, Mama

What color are the angels mama
What texture are their hairs
Do they have eyes like mine
Are their lips and noses as mine
What color are the angels mama

Is God pink like the white man
I’m taught the devil looks like me
What color are the angels mama
I don’t wanna look outta place
Is there a heaven made for us
