Black or White
I took my babyOn a saturday bang"Boy is that girl with you?""Yes we're one and the same!"
Now I believe in miraclesAnd a miracleHas happened tonight
But, ifYou're thinkin'About my babyIt don't matter if you'reBlack or white
They print my messageIn the Saturday SunI had to tell themI ain't second to none
And I told about equalityAn it's trueEither you're wrongOr you're right
But, ifYou're thinkin'About my babyIt don't matter if you'reBlack or white
I am tired of this devilI am tired of this stuffI am tired of this businessSo, when theGoing gets roughI ain't scared ofYour brotherI ain't scared of no sheetsI ain't scared of nobodyGirl when theGoin' gets mean

[Michael:]Don't tell me you agree with meWhen I saw you kicking dirt in my eye

I said ifYou're thinkin' ofBeing my brotherIt don't matter if you'reBlack or white
