You Wouldnt Date A Lyrics

song lyrics You Wouldn t Date A Black Girl lyrics Intro chorus: You re famous now You ve made it You know the game And you ve played it But black people helped bring you into this world So why don t I ever see you with a black girl (A pause in the record so you can hear a pin drop) No I don t hate you And no I don t want to date you But it seems to me And many in this world That you just wouldn t date a black girl Verse 1: Let alone marry one Carry one to the alter But in your own private world You re the rock of Gibraltar But that rock is crumbling fast Denying your past Now I agree that love knows no color And that we should all love each other And you say that s true But you re never with anyone that looks like you Repeat (intro) chorus Verse 2: I don t have a color preference Color is not my point of reference But it is for you And you know it too If the one you love is black And you are white Do what s right And marry them for life It takes character to See it through The incentive to love you For who you are Not because you re a star Rap: No, I m not hating And this song isn t about interracial dating First of all let me clear the air If it weren t for interracial relationships I wouldn t be here My grandparents weren t the same color But with them they really loved each other As with all the interracial relationships of my family and friends Love is always the message they send And that s real But with you that s not the deal This song is about famous black men like you And all the discriminatory things you do Once you become known You feel you ve outgrown Your own race And are too much for this place I d date a person regardless of their color But you date a person because of their color One after another They re never black So please tell me why is that I mean, not even a token Negro And what about me I m as cute as can be Are you trying to tell me you don t like me (I m not vain, really) It s because I m black And ironically you re black too But somehow that just doesn t matter to you And that s sad Do you really think being black is that bad You distance yourself from the black community Under the guise of racial unity You say you love everyone But you don t You don t love your own race Or yourself You actually think you re something else Hey, you know what they say Walks like a duck... Chorus: Black people helped bring you into this world So why don t I ever see you with a black girl (Now for a pause in the record so you can hear a pin drop) No I don t hate you And no I don t want to date you But it seems to me And many in this world That you just wouldn t date a black girl Black girl song lyrics
