You Wouldn't Date A Black Girl Lyrics - Aisha - Aisha

Intro chorus: 

You're famous now 

You've made it 

You know the game 

And you've played it 

But black people helped bring you into this world 

So why don't I ever see you with a black girl 

(A pause in the record so you can hear a pin drop) 

No I don't hate you 

And no I don't want to date you 

But it seems to me 

And many in this world 

That you just wouldn't date a black girl 

Verse 1: 

Let alone marry one 

Carry one to the alter 

But in your own private world 

You're the rock of Gibraltar 

But that rock is crumbling fast 

Denying your past 

Now I agree that love knows no color 

And that we should all love each other 

And you say that's true 

But you're never with anyone that looks like you 

Repeat (intro) chorus 

Verse 2: 

I don't have a color preference 

Color is not my point of reference 

But it is for you 

And you know it too 

If the one you love is black 

And you are white 

Do what's right 

And marry them for life 

It takes character to 

See it through 

The incentive to love you 

For who you are 

Not because you're a star 

Rap: 

No, I'm not hating 

And this song isn't about interracial dating 

First of all let me clear the air 

If it weren't for interracial relationships I wouldn't be here 

My grandparents weren't the same color 

But with them they really loved each other 

As with all the interracial relationships of my family and friends 

Love is always the message they send 

And that's real 

But with you that's not the deal 

This song is about famous black men like you 

And all the discriminatory things you do 

Once you become known 

You feel you've outgrown 

Your own race 

And are too much for this place 

I'd date a person regardless of their color 

But you date a person because of their color 

One after another 

They're never black 

So please tell me why is that 

I mean, not even a token Negro 

And what about me 

I'm as cute as can be 

Are you trying to tell me you don't like me 

(I'm not vain, really) 

It's because I'm black 

And ironically you're black too 

But somehow that just doesn't matter to you 

And that's sad 

Do you really think being black is that bad 

You distance yourself from the black community 

Under the guise of racial unity 

You say you love everyone 

But you don't 

You don't love your own race 

Or yourself 

You actually think you're something else 

Hey, you know what they say 

Walks like a duck... 

Chorus: 

Black people helped bring you into this world 

So why don't I ever see you with a black girl 

(Now for a pause in the record so you can hear a pin drop) 

No I don't hate you 

And no I don't want to date you 

But it seems to me 

And many in this world 

That you just wouldn't date a black girl 

Black girl
