But if you're thinking about my baby, ot don't matter if you're black or white







Hey (what?)

Turn it off (dad, this is the best part)

Turn it off (no)

It's too late for this, turn it off

(Dad, this is the best part, come on)

No, turn it off now

(No, this is, I wanna listen to it okay?)

'Cause it's too loud and disturbs the neighbors, turn it off now

Yeah right, too late? Sure, eat this


I took my baby on a Saturday bang

Boy, is that girl with you?

We're one and the same

Now I believe in miracles

And a miracle has happened tonight


But if you're thinking 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 'em 'bout 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'm tired of this devil

I'm tired of this stuff

I'm tired of this business

Oh, when the going gets rough

I ain't scared of your brother

I ain't scared of no sheets

I ain't scare of nobody

Go, when you're gonna get 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 where your space is

I've seen the bright get duller

I'm not gonna spend my life being a color


Do 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


Alright, alright (ooh, ooh)

Alright (yeah, yeah, yeah now)

Alright, alright (ooh, ooh)

Shamone (yeah, yeah, yeah now)

Alright


It's black, it's white

It's tough for you to be black (yeah, yeah, yeah)

It's black, it's white (woo!)

It's black, it's white

It's tough for you to be black (yeah, yeah, yeah)

It's black, it's white (woo!)
