I Was Afraid Of Malcolm Lyrics

Chorus: I was afraid of Malcolm Just like any white man Between the powder of the talcum And the color of a black man Fee fie to fum I was afraid of Malcolm And the afro picks in the sand Just like any white man Now I see I was dumb I bought the whole big shebang White man afraid of Malcolm Hit me like a boomerang From the fire to the frying pan I did the ostrich too Cassius was the better man But I took the white man's cue Chorus Things got better each day I landed on my own backbone And when I think of all the hearsay I'm standing in my own skin tone Pictured as a man of distortion Painted as a monster in monster proportion Changing up with every bit of information Painting like a master in God's creation Where each and every one and every body is equal Where you don't have to wait until You see the sequel Chorus
