BLACK OR WHITE, 1

1. 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,
DGGGDGGGD ~
and a miracle has happened tonight.
A
But, if you`re thinkin` about my baby,
G DGGGDGGGD ~ (2x)
it don`t matter if you`re black or white.

2. 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,
DGGGDGGGD ~
and it`s true, either you`re wrong or you`re right.
A
But, if you`re thinkin` about my baby,
G DGGGDGGGD ~ (4x)
it don`t matter if you`re black or white.
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.
BLACK OR WHITE, 2
3. (rapping) in D
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 going to spend my life being a color.
G
Don`t tell me you agree with me,
DGGGDGGGD ~
when I saw you kicking dirt in my eye.
A
But, if you`re thinkin` about my baby,
G DGGGDGGGD ~
it don`t matter if you`re black or white.
A
I said, if you`re thinkin` about my baby,
G DGGGDGGGD ~
it don`t matter if you`re black or white.
A
I said, if you`re thinkin` of being my brother,
G DGGGDGGGD ~
it don`t matter if you`re black or white.
