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's scared of no sheets
I ain't scared 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 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 them to get by
It's black, it's white, whoo

Michael Jackson "Black or White" review: Was the first single taken from Michael Jackson's Dangerous album, released on November 1991. The single is considered the biggest selling rock song of the 1990s. "Black or White" is a mix of hard rock, dance and rap, but basically it is a hard rock song like "Beat It". Written, composed, and arranged by Michael Jackson with the rap lyrics by Bill Bottrell, it is a song that promotes racial unity. The song's introduction and main riff, reminiscent of that of "Hurts So Good" by John Mellencamp are performed by guitarist Slash and Bill Bottrell.
