Public Enemy - Fear of a Black Planet [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[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 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
I See ya can't stand it

[Sample]
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 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 I ain't sure
If the whole world was to come
Through peace and love
Then what would we be made of?

[Hook]
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 supposin' 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

[Sample]

[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 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 how that God planned it?)

[Hook]
