Fear of a Black Planet 

*Music* 

Man, you ain't gotta worry 'bout a thing 
'Bout your daughter, no, she's not my type 
(But suppose she said she loved me?) 
Are you afraid of the mix of black and white? 
We're livin' in a land where the law say 
The mixing of race makes the blood impure 
She's a woman, I'm a man 
By the look on your face I see ya can't stand it 

*Music* 

Black man, black woman, black baby 
White man, white woman, white baby 
White man, black woman, black baby 
Black man, white woman, black baby 

Man, you need to calm down, don't get mad 
I don't need your sista 
(But suppose she says she loves me?) 
Would you still love her or would you dissmiss her? 
(Hey!) What is pure? Who is pure? 
Is it European state of being, I ain't sure 
If the whole world was to come through peace and love 
Then what would we be made of? 

Excuse us for the news 
You might not be amused 
But did you know white comes from black 
No need to be confused 

Excuse us for the news 
I question those accused 
Why is this fear of black from white 
Influence who you choose? 

Man, I don't want your wife 
Stop screamin' it's not the end of your life 
(But suppose she says she loves me?) 
What's wrong with some color in your family tree? (Yeah!) 
I don't know 
I'm just a rhyme sayer 
Skins protected against the ozone layers 
Breakdown, 2001 
It might be best black or just brown, COUNTDOWN! 

*Music* 

Black man, black woman, black baby 
White man, white woman, white baby 
Black man, white woman, black baby 
White man, black woman, black baby 

Check it out 
I've been wonderin' why 
People living in fear of my shade (Of my high-top fade) 
I'm not the one that's runnin' but they got me on the run 
Treat me like I have a gun 
All I got is genes and chromosomes 
Consider me black to the bone 
All I want is peace and love on this planet 
Ain't how that God planned it? 

Excuse us for the news 
You might not be amused 
But did you know white comes from black? 
No need to be confused 
Excuse us for the news 
I question those accused 
Why is this fear of black from white influence who you choose? 

*Music*
