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.
You see, it's not about races,
just places, faces.
Where your blood comes from
is where your space is.
I've seen the sharp 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.
It's black, it's white, it's tough for them to get by.
It's black, it's white, whoo.
It's black, it's white, whoo.
