Black or White

I took my baby on a Saturday bang

Boy is that girl with you

Yes we're one and the same

Now I believe in miracles

And a miracle has happened tonight

But if you're thinkin' about my baby

It don't matter if you're black or white

They print my message in the Saturday Sun

I had to tell them I ain't second to none

And I told about equality and it's true

Either you're wrong or you're right

But if you're thinkin' about my baby

It don't matter if you're black or white

I am tired of this devil

I am tired of this stuff

I am tired of this business

Sew when the going gets rough

I ain't scared of your brother

I ain't scared of no sheets

I ain't scared of nobody

Girl when the goin' gets mean

Protection

For gangs clubs and nations

causing grief in human relations

It's a turf war on a global scale

I'd rather hear both sides of the tale

See it's not about races

Just places

Faces

Where your blood comes from

I've seen the bright get duller

I'm not going to spend my life being a color

Don't tell me you agree with me

When I saw you kicking dirt in my eye

But if you're thinkin' about my baby

It don't matter if you're black or white

I said if you're thinkin' of being my baby

It don't matter if you're black or white

I said if you're thinkin' of being my brother

It don't matter if you're black or white

Ooh ooh

Yea yea yea now

Ooh ooh

Yea yea yea now

It's black it's white

It's tough for them to get by

It's black it's white whoo
