Why can't we be friends. Why can't we be friends
I seen you around for a long long time, ya
I really remembered you when you drink my wine
I seen you walkin' down in Chinatown
I called you but you could not look around
I bring my money to the welfare line
I see you standing in it every time
The color of your skin don't matter to me
As long as we can live in harmony
I'd kinda like to be the President
So I can show you how your money's spent
Sometimes I don't speak right
But yet I know what I'm talking about
I know you're workin' for the CIA
They wouldn't have you in the Ma-fi-a
Why can't we be friends...
