Black Or White (Album Version)

Hey (what?) Turn it off (dad, this is the best part) Turn it off (no) It's too late for this, turn it off (Dad, this is the best part, come on) No, turn it off now (No, this is, I wanna listen to it okay?) 'Cause it's too loud and disturbs the neighbors, turn it off now

Yeah right, too late? Sure, eat this

I took my baby on a Saturday bang Boy, is that girl with you? We're one and the same Now I believe in miracles And a miracle has happened tonight

But if you're thinking 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 'em 'bout 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'm tired of this devil I'm tired of this stuff I'm tired of this business Oh, 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 you're gonna get 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 is where your space is I've seen the bright get duller I'm not gonna spend my life being a color

Do 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

Alright, alright (ooh, ooh) Alright (yeah, yeah, yeah now) Alright, alright (ooh, ooh) Shamone (yeah, yeah, yeah now) Alright

It's black, it's white It's tough for you to be black (yeah, yeah, yeah) It's black, it's white (woo!) It's black, it's white It's tough for you to be black (yeah, yeah, yeah) It's black, it's white (woo!)
