Black or White

[Verse 1]

I took my baby on a Saturday bang

Is that girl with you?

Yeah, we're one and the same

Now I believe in miracles

And a miracle has happened tonight, yes

But if you're think you're gonna be my baby

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

[Verse 2]

They print my message in the Saturday Sun

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

And I told 'em 'bout equality

And it's true, either you're wrong or you're right, yeah

But, if you're think you're gonna be my baby

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

Yeah

[Bridge]

I'm tired of this devil

I'm tired of this stuff

I'm tired of this business

So when the going gets rough

I ain't scared of your brother

I ain't scared of no sheets

I ain't scare of nobody

Go when the going gets mean

[Verse 3]

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 is where your space is

I've seen the bright get duller

I'm not gonna spend my life being a color

[Outro]

Don't tell me you agree with me

When I saw you kicking dirt in my eye

But if you're thinking of being my baby

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

Yeah, if you're thinking of being my baby

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

Lord, if you wanna boogie with me

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

Or brown, yellow, orange, purple

I'll have relations with girls from every nation

And run a train that's bound for glory

It's a great day a-comin', great day a-comin'
