lyrics

The bluest eyes you've ever seen, with hair of gold
A master mold
The darkest flesh that's ever been, the shade of coal
Oh, so much soul
No artifice
The genesis was pure
Oh, how is this?
Geneticists aren't sure

How Scaryan came to be, and survived to maturity
Scaryan, shining in the shade
Scaryan, dark as night, facial features seem so white
Scaryan nonplussing everyone

Teutonic ancestry is clear
Last name is Schwartz,
or so I hear
Thin lips, flat hips, a Roman nose
all colored black
Bone straight afro

No monkey biz
No sable frizz endured
Oh, how is this?
Geneticists aren't sure

How Scaryan came to be, and survived to maturity
Scaryan, shining in the shade
Scaryan, dark as night, facial features seem so white
Scaryan, baffling every-one

Scaryan! For you I want what's best
But you failed the paper bag test
So I’m going to impart some advice
And I’ll try to keep it concise:

If it's white, it's alright.
If it's yellow, let it mellow.
if it's brown, stick around,
but if it's black?

Get back!

Oh Scaryan, on the fence
Bless your checkered countenance
Scaryan, polarize the percept

Scaryan, can't you see?
Racial reconstructive surgery isn't all it is cracked up to be
They're gonna come for you
