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

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, whoo
