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

Thru 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 2001

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?
