Skit: L.T.B. & Andres McKenzie

(Hey!) What?

(Turn it off) But dad, this is the best part!

(Turn it off) No!

(It's too late for this, turn it off)

Dad, this is the best part, come on

(No, turn it off now) No, this is the—, I wanna listen to it, okay?

('Cause it's too loud and disturbs the neighbors, turn it off now)

Right, too late? Sure, eat this

Intro: Michael Jackson

Aaow! (Ooh)

Aaow!

Verse 1: Michael Jackson

I took my baby on a Saturday bang

Boy, is that girl with you?

Yes, we're one and the same

Chorus: Michael Jackson

Now, I believe in miracles

And a miracle has happened tonight, hee

But if you're thinking about my baby

It don't matter if you're black or white, ooh

Verse 2: Michael Jackson

They print my message in the Saturday sun

I had to tell 'em, "I ain't second to none"

Chorus: Michael Jackson

And I told about equality and it's true

Either you're wrong or you're right, hee

But if you're thinking about my baby

It don't matter if you're black or white, hoo

Post-Chorus: Michael Jackson

Gone wit' ya, babe

Hee-hee

Bridge: Michael Jackson

I am tired of this devil

I am tired of this stuff

I am tired of this business

Go 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

Go when the going gets mean

Verse 3: L.T.B.

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, it's where your space is

I've seen the bright get duller

I'm not gonna spend my life being a color

Chorus: Michael Jackson

Don't tell me you agree with me

When I saw you kicking dirt in my eye (Hee-hee)

But if you're thinking about my baby

It don't matter if you're black or white

Post-Chorus: Michael Jackson

I said if you're thinking of being 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: Michael Jackson

Alright, alright (Ooh-ooh)

Alright (Yeah, yeah, yeah), yeah, now

Alright, alright (Ooh-ooh)

Shamone, don't (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Yeah, now, alright, ah

It's black, it's white

It's tough for you to beat, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

It's black, it's white (It's white)

It's black, it's white

It's tough for you to beat, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

It's black, it's white, hoo!
