-Hey!
-What?
-Turn it off!
-That is the best part!

-No! Turn it off now!
-No! I wanna listen to it, okay?

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
An 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 scare of nobody
Girl when the
Goin’ gets mean
[L. T. B. Rap performance]
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 going to spend
My life being a color
(Michael)
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 you
To get by
It’s black, it’s white, whoo
It’s black, it’s white
It’s tough for you
To get by
It’s black, it’s white, whoo
