Fear Of A Black Planet Lyrics - Fear Of A Black Planet - Public Enemy

Man, you ain't gotta worry 'bout a thing 

'Bout your daughter, nah, she ain't my type 

(But supposin' 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 

But by the look on your face, see ya can't stand it 

Man, calm your ass down, don't get mad 

I don't your sistah 

(But supposin' she said she loved me) 

Would you still love her or would you dismiss her 

What is pure? Who is pure? 

Is it European state of being, I'm not sure 

If the whole world was to come through peace and love 

Then what would we 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 c'mon now, I don't want your wife 

Stop screamin', it's not the end of your life 

(But supposin' she said she loved me) 

What's wrong with some color in your family tree 

I don't know 

I'm just a rhyme sayer 

Skins protected 'gainst the ozone layers 

Breakdown 200, might be best to be black 

Or just brown countdown 

I've been wonderin' why 

People livin' in fear of my shade 

(Or my hi top fade) 

I'm not the one that's runnin' 

But they got me one 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 that how 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?
