BLACK OR WHITE

Michael Jackson

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

I ain t scared of no sheets

I ain t scared of nobody

Goin gets mean

Protection

For gangs, clubs,

And nations

Causing grief in

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

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

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 black, it s white
