Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number Songtext
von Aaliyah

You never really realize how short life is until you experience the real world. Like i almost got killed yesterday becuz of racist people. But that′s going to change real quick... Just hear me out.

Race ain't nothin′ but a color,
being racist ain't nothin' but a thing,
this feeling i have for race,
it′ll never change. x2

here i am,
being me,
and there you are,
coming for me.
all you gotta do is know,
that we can all be friends.
i got faith in you,
that′ll flow within.

I don't mean to be bold,
I gotta let you know,
that i got faith in,
and i can′t let go.


Race ain't nothin but a color,
being racist ain′t nothing but a thing,
this feeling i have for race,
it'll never change. x2

Take your time,
and come with me,
and let me show you the way,
to be friendly.
All you gotta do is be brave,
don′t be afraid,
because yesturday, you made mistakes.

Don't mean to be bold,
gotta let you know,
i got faith in you,
and i can't let go.

Race ain′t nothin′ but a color,
being racist ain't nothin′ but a thing,
this feeling i have for race,
it'll never change. x2

(chuckling)
so now what?

here i am...

get to know me...


be happy...

Race ain′t nothin' but a color.

am i right?

I don′t mean to be bold,
I gotta let you know.
M-Money's got faith in you,
and i can't let go.

Race ain′t nothin′ but a color,
being racist ain't nothin′ but a thing,
this feeling i have for race,
it'll never change. x4
