Fear of a Black Planet

But they got me one the run
I don't know

Makes the blood impure

If the whole world was to come through peace and love
(But supposin' she said she loved me)
I question those accused

We're livin' in a land where the law say the mixing of race
(Or my hi top fade)
Man c'mon now, I don't want your wife
Is it European state of being, I'm not sure
Would you still love her or would you dismiss her
Why is this fear of black from white

You might not be amused
Consider me black to the bone
(But supposin' she said she loved me)
Then what would we made of?
No need to be confused
Excuse us for the news
I don't your sistah

But by the look on your face, see ya can't stand it
I'm not the one that's runnin'
Or just brown countdown
Stop screamin', it's not the end of your life
All I got is genes and chromosomes
Breakdown 200, might be best to be black
Skins protected 'gainst the ozone layers
No need to be confused
Are you afraid of the mix of Black and White
She's a woman I'm a man

I'm just a rhyme sayer
Excuse us for the news
(Ain't that how God planned it?)
But did you know white comes from black
I question those accused
Excuse us for the news
What is pure? Who is pure?
Excuse us for the news

You might not be amused
But did you know white comes from black
(But supposin' she said she loved me)
Why is this fear of black from white

Influence who you choose?
Man, calm your ass down, don't get mad
What's wrong with some color in your family tree

I've been wonderin' why
People livin' in fear of my shade
All I want is peace and love on this planet
Treat me like I have a gun
