Black Or White by Michael Jackson
Black Or White
[Verse 1]
D
I took my baby on a Saturday bang,
Boy is that girl with you ? Yes, we're one and the same.
G
Now I believe in miracles,
D
and a miracle has happened tonight.
A
But, if you're thinkin' about my baby,
G D
it don't matter if you're black or white.
[Verse 2]
D
They print my message in the Saturday Sun,
I had to tell them, I ain't second to none.
G
And I told about equality,
D
and it's true, either you're wrong or you're right.
A
But, if you're thinkin' about my baby,
G D
it don't matter if you're black or white.
[Bridge]
D
I`m tired of this devil, I`m tired of this stuff,
G D
I`m tired of this business, so when the going gets rough.
D
I ain't scared of your brother, I ain't scared of no sheets,
G D
I ain't scared of nobody, girl when the goin' gets mean.
[Verse 3]
D
Protection for gangs, clubs, and nations,
D
causing grief in human relations.
D
It's a turf war on a global scale,
D
I'd rather hear both sides of the tale.
D
See, it's not about races, just places, faces.
D
Where your blood comes from is where your space is.
D
I've seen the bright get duller
D
I'm not going to spend my life being a color.
[Verse 4]
G
Don't tell me you agree with me,
D
when I saw you kicking dirt in my eye.
A
But, if you're thinkin' about my baby,
G D
it don't matter if you're black or white.
A
I said, if you're thinkin' about my baby,
G D
it don't matter if you're black or white.
A
I said, if you're thinkin' of being my brother,
G D
it don't matter if you're black or white.

I'd rather hear both sides of the tale
See, its 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

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
Sew 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 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
Is were your space is

I'm not going to spend my life being a color
Don't tell me you agree with me

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
Sew 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 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
Is were your space is
I've seen the bright get duller
I'm not going to 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' 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 (yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's black, it's white
It's black, it's white
It's tough for you to get by (yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's black, it's white
