Forest Fire

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 thinking 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

An it's true, either you're wrong or you're right

But, if you're thinking 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't scared of no sheets

I ain't scare of nobody

Girl, when the going gets mean

[Rap]

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]

Don't tell me you agree with me

When I saw you kicking dirt in my eye

But, if you're thinking about my baby

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

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

It's black, it's white

It's tough for you to get by

It's black , it's white [6x]
