Public Enemy — Fear of a Black Planet

[Intro] Where is Public Enemy? What's the big deal? What's your latest hit, brother? (Fear of a Black Planet) [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 ya can't stand it [Interlude: Instrumental] [Verse 2] Man you need to calm down, don't get mad I don't need your sista But suppose she said she loved me? Would you still love her or would you dismiss her? 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? I don't know, hey, I'm just a rhyme sayer Skins protected 'gainst the ozone layers Breakdown, 2001 Might be best to be Black or just Brown, countdown [Interlude: Chuck D + instrumental] [Verse 4] I've been wonderin' why people livin' in fear of my shade (Or my high-top fade) I'm not the one that's runnin', but they got me on the run Treat me like I had 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 how that God planned it? [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?
