She wants a lover right now
But not no brother
Her man gotta have a lotta money
To get under her cover
Now she's a fine sister
But up here she's missin' it
She says she wanna learn about life
Not old black bull shit
And at the age of 15 a brother gave her a baby
She's 19 now and it drove her crazy
And now everytime she turns around
All the people in her neighborhood
Look and get mad and sing

Polly...

Meet Mr. Successful
I guess she's blessed yeah
But he happens to be a brother
Who only wants blue eyes and blonde hair
Now this young mister
He don't like sisters
He could not find that special one
We know why he missed her
He says sisters wasn't good enough
They only wanted his green stuff
That's why everytime he turned around
All the people in the neighborhood
Looked and got mad and sang

Polly...

I try to tell my people
There should not be any hatred
For a brother or sister
Whose opposite race they've mated
'Cause no man is God
And God put us all here yeah
But this system has no wisdom
The devil split us in pairs
And taught us White is good, Black is bad
Black and White is still too bad
That's why everytime I turn around
All the people in my neighborhood
Look and get mad and sing

Polly...
