Licorice Stick 

Benny play that licorice stick Benny make it sing
Licorice got the sweetest taste man you the king of swing
And if we're gonna die here let’s just do our thing
Black and white it never is it ain’t down to skin
Benny play that licorice stick Benny make it sing
Licorice got the sweetest taste you the king of swing
Black and white it never is it ain’t down to skin

Make a stand for what you think let your actions speak
Stand up for a cause that’s right talent man that’s deep
The way you look the way you dress the thoughts ideas you keep
Shouldn’t cloud your judgement warp your reality 
Face down all that bigotry find your feet let’s dance
Colour creed shouldn’t miss a beat hell we all should get the chance 

Jim Crow makes a big noise he don’t play no tune that fits
And segregating poeple gets ‘em scared and gets ‘em frit
Ain’t got no voice no freedom no basic human rights
We gotta see past colour hold a prism to the light
The rationale for stupid it don’t got no bass no swing
You’ve heard the reasons that they give man rhythm ain’t their thing 

History records the power of such simple acts
If a man got music in him it don’t matter where he’s sat
A plain and simple gesture means more than words can say
Black and white together speak louder in a tuneful way
So lay if on the off beat let them hear the tune
Play that melody my friend make it sing sing sing
