It Lives, It Breathes
Black or White
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
But, if you're thinking about my baby
It don't matter if you're black or white
[Verse 2]
They print my message in the Saturday sun
I had to tell them I ain't second to none
And I told 'em about equality
And it's true, either you're wrong or you're right
[Chorus]
But, if you're thinking about my baby
It don't matter if you're black or white
[Bridge]
I am tired of this devil
I am tired of this stuff
I am tired of this business
So 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
Please handle the racism
Kids where never born with any hate in 'em
Let's pay attention, how we raise children
Underneath our skin there is no difference
Caught up in the system, spread love
Should be the mission, lets stop drifting apart
Make your mark, start doing your part
And shine like a star
[Verse 3]
Don't tell me you agree with me
When I saw you kicking dirt in my eye
[Chorus]
But, if you're thinking about my baby
It don't matter if you're black or white
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 brother
It don't matter if you're Black or White
[Outro]
It's black, it's white
It's tough for you to get by
It's black, it's white
It's tough for you to get by
It's black, it's white
