black or white

I took my baby
On a Saturday bang
Boy is that girl with you
Yes were one and the same
Now I believe in miracles
And a miracle has happened tonight
But if youre thinkin about my baby
It dont matter
If youre black or white
They print my message
In the Saturday Sun
I had to tell them
I aint second to none
And I told about equality
And its true
Either youre wrong
Or youre right
But if youre thinkin about my baby
It dont matter
If youre 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 aint scared of your brother
I aint scared of no sheets
I aint scared of nobody
Girl when the goin gets mean
Protection
For gangs clubs and nations
Causing grief in human relations
Its a turf war on a global scale
Id rather hear
Both sides of the tale
See its not about races
Just places
Faces
Where your blood comes from
This places
Ive seen the bright get duller
Im not going to spend
My life being a color
Dont tell me you agree with me
When I saw you kicking dirt in my eye
But if youre thinkin about my baby
It dont matter
If youre black or white
I said if youre thinkin
Of being my baby
It dont matter
If youre black or white
I said if youre thinkin
Of being my brother
It don't matter
If youre black or white
Ooh ooh
Yea yea yea now
Ooh ooh
Yea yea yea now
Its black its white
Its tough for them to get by
Its black its white whoo
Its black its white
Its tough for them to get by
Its black its white whoo
