Passing Complexion

She was his

She would take his children

Black and white

Right to her own breast

There were times

When he could mix

With ordinary white company

Though the subject never came up

No one would notice

He had what they call passing complexion

He had what they call passing complexion

He had what they call passing complexion

He had what they call passing complexion

He'd been white, he'd been black

They asked him, black like that?

Yeah!
