No One's Leaving

(album: Ritual De Lo Habitual - 1990)

I'm a white dread-I'm a white dread, so?
I'm a got a ring and I hang it from my nose.
Got a little game and I take it to the park.
I don't care who plays
As long as the game is on.

My sister and her boyfriend slept in the park.
She had to leave home 'cause he was dark.
Now they parade around in New York with a baby boy...
He's gorgeous!
Ain't nobody leaving!

No one's leaving...

Blacks call each other brother and sis'
Count me in 'cause I been missed.
I've seen color changed by a kiss.
Ask my brother
And my sister.

My sister and her boyfriend slept in the park.
She had to leave home 'cause he was dark.
Now they parade around in New York with a baby boy...
He's gorgeous!
Ain't nobody leaving!

No one's leaving!

Yeah, that's right...
Yeah, that's so...

Wish I knew everyone's nickname,
all their slang and all their sayings.
Every way to show affection,
How to dress to fit the occasion...

Wish we all waved...
All waved...
All waved...
I wish we all!
Wish we all!
Wish we all waved...
