Song lyrics
We've got a long way to go
When snow hits the asphalt, cold looks and bad talk come
We've got a long way to go
It's beyond Martin Luther, upgrade computer

Her/His skin wasn't the same color as mine
But she/he was fine, she/he was fine
If all men are made equal
Then she/he was fine, she/he was fine
Up until the time we went out on a date
I was fine, I was fine
Now I'm getting dirty looks, I wonder what they'd say
If we were blind, we were blind people

We've got a long way to go
When snow hits the asphalt, cold looks and bad talk come
We've got a long way to go
It's beyond Martin Luther, upgrade computer
We've got a long way to go
When snow hits the asphalt, cold looks and bad talk come
We've got a long way to go
It's beyond Martin Luther, upgrade computer

Beauty is beauty, whether it's black or white
Yellow or green baby, you know what I mean
What if Picasso only used one color
There shouldn't be a rule, how to choose your lover

Lovers in love is such a wonderful thing
Maybe in time, we'll get together and sing
I really hope so, there's nothing wrong with this picture
We got a long way to go, we gotta get there quicker

We've got a long way to go
When snow hits the asphalt, cold looks and bad talk come
We've got a long way to go
It's beyond Martin Luther, upgrade computer
We've got a long way to go
When snow hits the asphalt, cold looks and bad talk come
We've got a long way to go
It's beyond Martin Luther, upgrade computer

What color is love [3x]

We've got a long way to go
When snow hits the asphalt, cold looks and bad talk come
We've got a long way to go
It's beyond Martin Luther, upgrade computer
We've got a long way to go
When snow hits the asphalt, cold looks and bad talk come
We've got a long way to go
It's beyond Martin Luther, upgrade computer

...that all men are created equal...
...children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by...
...by the color of their skin...
...but by the content of their character...
...this will be the day when all of God's children...
...will be able to sing with new meaning...
...not only that...

I love Gwen for getting on this topic This song has a very good message to it, but it just doesn't seem well put together for some reason

Its a good song about a good topic, noticed its a little like michaels jacksons opinions in his songs black or white and they dont really care about us. Andre 3000 n gwen sing good together

It gives off a really powerful message ! I've got to admit this song is very different from anything I have ever listened to. This song has an odd futuristic (did I spell that right? I dunno, I'm really tired x.x) beat to it. It's like, the future pop music. I don't like the rhythm that much, but I love the lyrics. Not my fav song, but yeah.

I dont like the line "Mt Luther upgrade computer" it seems like a forced rhyme.

But I love the powerful message, esp the part "what would they say if we were blind people"
And my favorite line (especially since my friend is in a multi-ratial relationship) I love to say to her "when snow hits the asphalt" such a GREAT visual

Just FYI. . . .this song was written by Andre 3000, but he wanted a white girl to sing it, so he got Gwen. I absolutely love this song, and the meaning goes way deeper than just relationships. Its powerful, original, sensitive, and daring and I just absolutely love it!!

Yep, i also think theres ALOT going on in this song, but it has such a good meaning. I think they should have tried harder to make it..i dunno..different? but with the same meaning. Love them both.

It has a deep meaning and I may see that I find it just way too repetitive but the lyrics are great, the melody is just not at the lyrics level.

It's like a mix between jungle and a japanese video game with a great message behind it. Only Andre and Gwen could pull something like this song off though. The combo of these two is so awesome.

I disagree with what someone said about "It's beyond Martin Luther, Upgrade computer" sounding like a forced rhyme. It's profound and very true. We can discover stem cell research and we can create computers that could run any (normally) man-headed operation, but we can't learn as a people to love each other??? It's beyond Martin Luther, it's beyond upgrading the computers. You've gotta get inside, deep in the crevaces of the human psyche and then pray that it will change.

Long Way 2 Go is about racism .
It's a wierd song
but with a powerful message

>Beauty is beauty whether it's black or white!

It even has clips on what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. says.
We shud get along with black, white,peurto rican, chinese, indian, spanish, etc.

Im just telling my patr of the song!
