I Was Afraid Of Malcolm - Garland Jeffreys

作词：Garland Jeffreys

作曲：Garland Jeffreys

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

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

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

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

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
