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
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 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
Girl, when the goin’ gets mean
[Rap]
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
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’ about 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, sure ’mon
Yeah, yeah, yeah, now
Alright
It’s black, it’s white
It’s tough for you to get by
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It’s black, it’s white
Oooh
It’s black, it’s white
It’s tough for you to get by
It’s black it’s white
Oooh
(Written and composed by Michael Jackson)
