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'ts 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
Is were your space is
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, (x3) whoo

...........................................
I took my baby
To a Saturday night party.
Boy, is she with you?
Yes, we are one and indivisible!

Now I believe in miracles
And a miracle
It happened tonight ...

But if
You think
About my baby
Irrelevant,
Are you black or white ...

They write my message
Under the Saturday sun
I had to state:
I am not unmatched ...

And I told about equality
It's true,
No matter if you're right
Or not.

But if
You think
About my baby
Irrelevant,
Are you black or white ...

I'm tired of this evil
I'm tired of this,
I'm tired of this business ...
And when everything goes over
Edge of cruelty
I'm not afraid
Your brother
No shit will scare me!
I'm not afraid of anyone,
Girl when it all comes down
To baseness and meanness ...

[l. T. B. Rap]
Protection for
Gangs, clubs
And nations
The cause of trouble is
All human relationships.
This is a turf war
Globally.
I would rather listen
Both sides.
Understand it's not about race
And in places
Persons
Where do you come from
Your blood.
This is where you belong.
I saw myself fade away
The one who was bright ...
I'm not going to live
All my life "colored"!

[Michael]
Don't say you agree with me
After all, I saw you run away in front of me ...

But if
You think about my baby
It doesn't matter if you are black or white ...

I said if
Do you think about
To become my baby
It doesn't matter if you are black or white ...

I said if
Do you think about
To become my baby
Irrelevant,
Are you black or white ...

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Yes Yes Yes!
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Yes Yes Yes!

Black White,
It's not easy for you
Be acceptable ...
Black, white, hu!

Black White,
It's not easy for you
Be acceptable ...
Black, white, hu!
