Michael Jackson - Black or White Lyrics

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
An' 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

Don't depend

I am tired of this Devil
I am tired of this stuff
I am tired of this business
Goin' when they going to gets rough
I ain't scared of your brother
I ain't scared of no sheets
I ain't scare of nobody
Girl when the goin' 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 where your space is
I've seen the light 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 bein' 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

No, no, alright
Alright
Yeah, yeah, yeah now
Alright, alright
Jump on, don't
Yeah, yeah, yeah now
Alright

It's black, it's white
It's tough for you to get by
It's black, it's white
It's black, it's white
It's tough for you to get by
It's black, it's white

  It is so wrong to be racist! People who are tend to be trouble makers! Get over it!

  I like this song and I am happy Michael sang it instead of anyone else. I truly believe Michael did not care what the color of anyone's skin was. I have hoped for many years that the idea of different races would end forever. So far that has not happened. I am white, and I hate saying that! I am not a 'racist' in any way, shape, or form. I have friends and people that are dear to me from all colors. Is there ever going to be just the human race? I so want that to happen. One thing I would like to say here of all places is African-American, Asian American, or any of the others is a crock of bulls**t! We are Americans! The world needs to stop thinking that way. Most black people here in the U.S. are so far removed from being from Africa just like I am far removed from England. I don't call myself British American! Think about it. We are all human. If we would all think that way and teach our children that way, then we would truly be that way. As long as the people that want to start talking about how ad they have because they are this or that color. I got news for ALL of YOU, all people have it bad. No matter what the skin color is.

  I love Black Or White! It's such a good uplifting song about beating racism and loving people no matter who they are, where they come from or their colour and race. Instead of doing crass songs like Dangerous and Billie Jean, Michael actually hit a winner in the cleanness department and it has a great message, that more songs now days need! Good job, MJ!
