[L.T.B. Rap Performance]
Protection for gangs, clubs and nations
Causing grief in human relations
Its a turf war on a global scale
I'd rather hear both sides of the tale
See, its 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
[A]
Don't tell me you agree with me
[E]
When I saw you kicking dirt in my eye
Hook
[B]
But, if you're thinkin' about my baby
[A] [E]
It don't matter if you're black or white
[B]
I said if you're thinkin' of being my baby
[A] [E]
It don't matter if you're black or white
[B]
I said if you're thinkin' of being my brother
[A] [E]
It don't matter if you're black or white

Its black , its white, whoo
