Lyrics

I was raised to be white, black
I was raised to be equal to anyone
Listening to you, you are so prejudiced
I just can't believe it
I am shocked
You're scaring me
What is he saying that you have a problem with?
What is he saying that you have a problem with?
What scares us is I think we hear violence
I think you don't know what the fuck it is you talking 'bout
I'm so scared to go out in the world next year
Because I was never a prejudiced person
Until I'm listening to you
It's really scary hearing what you're saying
I'm very scared
What is he saying that you have a problem with?
What is he saying that you have a problem with?
What scares us is I think we hear violence
I think you don't know what the fuck it is you talking 'bout
That same question about fearing
Or white people fearing
You know, what will the black folks do and stuff
We should be running down the street
Screaming, ramping and raving
'Cause when you look at the statistics
Who is what's dying?
From the policemen
From the KKK
From the skinheads
What scares us is I think we hear violence
What is he saying that you have a problem with?
And why is it when a black man stands up
To speak for his people
And other people stand up to speak for their people
There's no problem with it
But you're saying he said black, he said Jew
When people talk, they talk like that
But why is it when a black man stands up
To speak for his people
You feel so threatened
Everybody's paranoid
And you talk about it's not segregation
We live in Harlem
We live in Watts
We live in Bedford-Stuyvesant
That's a form of segregation
We walk through Bensonhurst
We get killed
So what are you talking about?
