Black or White Songtext
von Michael Jackson

(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 the-, I wanna listen to it, okay?
You've got things to do tomorrow, turn it off now!
Right, too late? Sure, eat this

Aaow! (Ooh)
Aaow!

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 thinking about my baby
It don't matter if you′re black or white, ooh

They print my message in the Saturday Sun
I had to tell ′em, "I ain't second to none"


And I told about equality and it′s true
Either you're wrong or you′re right, hoo
But if you're thinking about my baby
It don′t matter if you're black or white

Gone wit' ya, babe
Hee-hee

I am tired of this devil
I am tired of this stuff
I am tired of this business
Go when the going gets rough
I ain′t scared of your brother
I ain′t scared of no sheets
I ain't scared of nobody
Go when the going gets 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, it's where your space is
I′ve seen the bright get duller
I'm not gonna spend my life being a color


Don't tell me you agree with me
When I saw you kicking dirt in my eye (hee-hee)
But if you′re thinking about my baby
It don′t matter if you're black or white

I said if you′re thinking of being my baby
It don't matter if you′re black or white
I said if you're thinking of being my brother
It don′t matter if you're black or white

Alright, alright (ooh-ooh)
Alright (yeah, yeah, yeah), yeah, now
Alright, alright (ooh-ooh)
Shamone, don't (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, now, alright, ah

It′s black, it′s white
It's tough for you to beat, yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)
It′s black, it's white (it′s white), hoo!
It's black, it′s white
It's tough for you to beat, yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's black, it′s white, hoo!
