Rosalyn

Rosalyn's new here
 She just moved down
 Her friends all warn her about that part of town
 But she feels safe in the city streets
 The darkness makes her feel at ease
 But when she walks two blocks over to the suburbs
 She's scared, 'cause everything's a different color, color
 Oh, Rosalyn, outside looking in
 All you hear is how we've come so far
 Oh, Rosalyn, how come we judge your skin
 And never give a damn about your heart?
 Rosalyn's armor
 Is the clothes she wears
 They protect her from our stares
 A brand new jacket
 Expensive purse
 When she wears 'em, nothing hurts
 'Cause our clean streets only make her feel filthy
 And she doesn't know why she feels so guilty, guilty
 Oh, Rosalyn, outside looking in
 And all you hear is how we've come so far
 Oh, Rosalyn, how come we judge your skin
 And never give a damn about your heart?
 Yeah, it's all about your heart, oh
 We're trying so hard
 We're trying so hard
 Rosalyn, don't give up
 Don't give up on us
 ♪
 'Cause we all know it's so easy to fake it
 When all we care about is being blameless
 Oh, Rosalyn, outside looking in
 And we don't even know who you are
 Oh, Rosalyn, how come we judge your skin
 And never give a damn about your heart?
