-Turn that thing off!
I thought I told you to turn that thing off. It is too late and it’s too loud.
-But dad, this is the best part!
-You are wasting your time with this garbage. Now, go to bed!
-Ok.
Eat this.
-I’m afraid your father is going to be very upset when he gets back.

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’m tired of this devil
I’m tired of this stuff
I’m 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 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 bright get duller
I'm not gonna 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

Alright
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,


....


Alright. That was perfect. How d’you do that?
