There is an African saying which I’m attached to: “Until the lions find their storytellers, stories about hunting will always glorify the hunter.” We are our own storytellers. We have to be our own storytellers. We got to be sensitive. We got to pay respect. And when we ever portray people, We might as well do it with dignity. Skin Deep Underneath we’re all the same We’re all the same.

Let’s sing with Buddy Guy: I’ve been around a while I know wrong from right And since a long time ago Things been always black and white Just like you can’t judge a book by the cover We all gotta be careful How we treat one another.

Skin Deep Underneath we’re all the same.

A man in Louisiana He never called me by my name He said “boy do this and boy do that” But I never once complained I knew he had a good heart But he just didn’t understand That I needed to be treated Just like any other man.

Skin Deep Underneath we’re all the same.

I sat my little child down When he was old enough to know I said I fell in this big wide world You’re gonna be all kinda froze I said son it all comes down to just one simple rule That you treat everybody just the way You want them to treat you Yeah.

Skin Deep Underneath we’re all the same.
