Fear of a Black Planet Fear of a Fear of a [Verse 1] Man, don't you worry 'bout a thing 'Bout your daughter, nope, she's not my type But suppose she said she loved me Are you afraid of the mix of Black and white? Livin' in a land where the law say Mixing of race makes the blood impure She's a woman, I'm a man Look at your face, I see you can't stand it [Interlude] Uh, get down Oh, no, come on now Fear of a Black Planet Black man, Black woman, Black baby White man, white woman, white baby White man, Black woman, Black baby Black man, white woman, Black baby [Verse 2] Man, you need to calm down, don't get mad, I don't need your sister But suppose she said she loved me, would you still love her or would you dismiss her? (Hey) What is pure? Who is pure? Is it European? I ain't sure If the whole world was to come through peace and love Then what would we be made of? [Chorus] 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? [Verse 3] Man, I don't want your wife Stop screamin', it's not the end of your life But suppose she said she loved me What's wrong with some color in your family tree?

[Chorus] 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?
