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 scared of nobody
Girl, when the going gets mean
Oh
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

It’s tough for you to get by
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
It’s black, it’s white
It’s black, it’s white
It’s tough for you to get by
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
It’s black, it’s white
