BLACK OR WHITE                         M. JACKSON




I LOOK MY BABY

ON A SATURDAY BANG

BOY IS THAT GIRL WITH YOU

YES WE'RE THE ONE AND THE SAME

NOW I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES

AND A MIRACLE

HAS APPENED 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

YOU'RE THINKING 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 YOU BROTHER

I AIN'T SCARED OF NO SHEETS

I AIN'T SCARED OF NOBODY

PROTECTION

FOR GANGS CLUBS, AND NATIONS

CAUSING GRIEF IN HUMAN RELATIONS

IT'S A TURF WAR

ON A GLOBAL SCAFE

I'D RATHER HEAR BOTH SIDES OF THE TALE

SEE, IT'S NOT AABOUT RACES

JUST PLACES

FACES

WHERE YOUR BLOOD COMES FROM

IS WHERE YOUR SPACE IS

I'VE SEEN THE BRIGHT GET DULLER

I'M NOT GOING TO SPEND MYT 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 IT

YOU'RE THINKIN' OF BEING MY BABY

IT DON'T MATTER IF YOU'RE

BLACK OR WHITE

I SAID IT

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
