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'ts 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, (x3) whoo

...........................................
Я взял свою детку
На субботнюю вечеринку.
Парень, она с тобой?
Да, мы едины и неделимы!
Теперь я верю в чудеса,
И чудо
Свершилось этой ночью...
Но, если
Ты думаешь
О моей детке,
Не имеет значения,
Черный ты или белый...
Они пишут мое послание
Под субботним солнцем.
Я должен был заявить:
Я не непревзойденный...
И я поведал о равенстве,
Это правда,
Независимо от того, прав ты
Или нет.
Но, если
Ты думаешь
О моей детке,
Не имеет значения,
Черный ты или белый...
Я устал от этого зла,
Я устала от этого,
Я устал от этого дела...
И когда все переходит
Грань жестокости,
Я не боюсь
Твоего брата,
Ни одно дерьмо меня не испугает!
Я никого не боюсь,
Девочка, когда все сходит
К низости и подлости...
[l. T. B. Рэп]
Защита для
Банд, клубов
И наций,
Причина бед во
Всех отношениях людей.
Это борьба за сферы влияния
В мировых масштабах.
Я бы предпочел выслушать
Обе стороны.
Пойми, дело не в расе,
А в местах,
Лицах,
Откуда родом
Твоя кровь.
Именно там твое место.
Я видел, как угасал
Тот, кто был ярок...
Я не собираюсь прожить
Всю свою жизнь "цветным"!
[Майкл]
Не говори, будто согласен со мной,
Ведь я видел, как ты сбежал у меня на глазах...
Но, если
Ты думаешь о моей детке,
Не имеет значения, черный ты или белый...
Я сказал, если
Ты думаешь о том,
Чтобы стать моей деткой,
Не имеет значения, черная ты или белая...
Я сказал, если
Ты думаешь о том,
Чтобы стать моей деткой,
Не имеет значения,
Черная ты или белая...
О-о-о, о-о-о
Да, да, да!
О-о-о, о-о-о
Да, да, да!
Черный, белый,
Для тебя непросто
Быть приемлемым...
Черный, белый, ху!
Черный, белый,
Для тебя непросто
Быть приемлемым...
Черный, белый, ху!

I took my baby
For a Saturday night.
Boy, is she with you?
Yes, we are one and indivisible!
Now I believe in miracles,
And a miracle
It was done this night ...
But if
You think
About my baby,
Irrelevant,
Black you or white ...
They write my message
Under the Saturday sun.
I had to say:
I'm not consummate ...
And I told about equality,
It's true,
Regardless of whether you are right
Or not.
But if
You think
About my baby,
Irrelevant,
Black you or white ...
I'm tired of this evil,
I'm tired of this,
I'm tired of this thing ...
And when everything passes
The brink of cruelty,
I'm not afraid
Your brother,
No shit scares me!
I'm not afraid of anyone,
Girl, when everything comes off
To meanness and meanness ...
[l. T. B. Rap]
Protection for
Band, clubs
And nations,
The reason for trouble in
All human relationships.
This is a struggle for spheres of influence
On a world scale.
I would prefer to listen
Both sides.
Understand, it's not a race,
And in places,
Persons,
Where come from
Your blood.
That's where your place is.
I saw how fading away
The one who was bright ...
I'm not going to live
All my life "colored"!
[Michael]
Do not say that you agree with me,
I saw how you escaped before my eyes ...
But if
You think about my baby,
It does not matter whether you're black or white ...
I said if
You think about how,
To become my baby,
It does not matter whether you're black or white ...
I said if
You think about how,
To become my baby,
Irrelevant,
Black you or white ...
Oh, oh-ooh
Yes Yes Yes!
Oh, oh-ooh
Yes Yes Yes!
Black White,
It's not easy for you
Be acceptable ...
Black, white, hoo!
Black White,
It's not easy for you
Be acceptable ...
Black, white, hoo!
