“Black Or White” Michael Jackson Lyrics
[Dad:] Hey![Kid:] What?!
[Dad:] Turn that off!
[Kid:] Dad, this is the best part!
[Dad:] Turn it off!
[Kid:] No!
[Dad:] It’s too late for this. Turn it off!
[Kid:] Dad, this is the best part! Come on!
[Dad:] No, turn it off now!
[Kid:] No, this is the—I want to listen to it, OK?!
[Dad:] You’ve got things to do tomorrow … turn it off now!
[Kid:] Yeah, right. Too late. Sure. Eat this.
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
Don’t look at that
I am tired of this devil
I am tired of this stuff
I am tired of this business
So 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 going to spend my life being a color[Michael Jackson:]
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’ about my baby
It don’t matter if you’re black or white
I said if you’re thinkin’ about my brother
It don’t matter if you’re black or white
Alright
Alright
Alright
Yeah, yeah, yeah, now
Alright
Alright
Schamo
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, woo
It’s black, it’s white
It’s tough for you to get by
It’s black, it’s white, woo
Lyrical Diary: “Black Or White” Michael Jackson Lyrics
“Black Or White” Michael Jackson Lyrics. Writer(s): Tommy Organ, Michael Jackson, Michael Bearden, Orianthi Panagaris
This is Michael Jackson’s eighth studio album, and this is the first single to be released from it.
This track has elements of dance music, hip-hop music, and complex rock music.
The guitar section played in the skit before the album version of “Black Or White” was done by Slash, the guitarist for Guns N’ Roses. In addition, he performed live renditions of the song playing the main riff.
The track became the first single released in the UK by an American artist to debut at number one on the singles chart since 1960 when Elvis Presley’s “It’s Now or Never” was the last song to accomplish this feat in the UK.
This song’s music video had its world debut simultaneously in 27 countries, reaching 500 million people simultaneously. This is the most extensive viewership that any music video has ever attracted.
In the opening sequence of the music video for “Black and White,” the actor Macaulay Culkin assumes the role of a little boy of 11 years old.

Lyrical Diary-
Enjoy reading lyrics and trying to do them more than just lyrics, trying to have some more me. I enjoy doing this because it allows me to express myself in a unique way that not everyone can do. It also gives me a chance to learn new things, which I appreciate.
Lyrics are a way to communicate emotions, and they can be used to entertain or provoke an emotional response in the listener. Therefore, lyricists need to use complex academic jargon to evoke a strong emotional response. They can create a connection with their listener and hopefully evoke a feeling of enjoyment or pleasure.
