Walking Without You

de Kooman & Dimond

I'm not like the other girls on this show
I'm something of a sore thumb
I'm starting to think that I'm different
And I suspect I know how come
My complexion stands out and my voice does as well
And in case you haven't noticed
I'm black as hell
It's an obligatory part of every new musical
It's the random black girl singing the soul

Every show must have an ensemble
Without it things wouldn't be right
And every crowd needs at least one person
Who doesn't happen to be white
Well that girl is usually me
Feels like I'm just filling a quota
And any time I ever have lines
They're yes’m, and yessir and nosa’
When it comes to the plot I play no significant role
I'm just a random black girl singing the soul

And I conduct with my hands
And I’ll squinch up my eyes
And then I'll open my mouth unbelievably wide
And at the end of the song when it's time to let go
I'll give'em a dose of my crazy vibrato
Why couldn't I be cast for a part in the Color Purple
Instead of the random black girl singing the soul

My agent gave me advice
Those words I'll never forget, he said
Don't think you'll ever be cast as Eponine or Cosette
But I guess things always could be worse
When it comes to my Broadway station at least I'm not cursed
Enough to have been born Asian
Then I'd be stuck in Miss Saigon
Dancing on a pole instead of the random black girl singing the soul

The designers can't light me
Director don't know my name
And the make-up artist thinks that we all wear the same shade
And Mister Stage Manager thinks I got too much sass
And costumer don't know what to do with my big ol' black hair
Oh! Maybe I should audition for American Idol
They love the random black girl singin' the soul

So what does this song change
Well not a relevant thing
But you gotta be thinking to yourself
Goddamn, that sista cansing!
Don't you hate it when song are so self referential
I'm just a random black girl singing the
Don't stop me know, cause baby, I'm on a roll
I'm just a random black girl singing the
I can me an entire phrase out of one syllable
'Cause I'm a random black girl singing the soul
