Questions in mind will I be accepted or not
If not that's fine won't let it hold me down
The mold I'm breakin out stereotypes
Like she can't rip the mic she's white
Get it right come to a show
Come to a session at the studio watch me flow
Watch the record sales watch me blow
Watch me get em all sayin oohh look at her go
It ain't like that at first till I drop that first verse
Then cats eyes pop out like they brain gon burst
Get up in the club bout to rip a show up
They don't even know what im there for
Girls be like I can't believe she showed up
What's she doin here who let her in
Don't she see she don't belong yo she don't fit in
I don't fit in anywhere but everywhere at the same time
Cuz all different types of people vibe off the same rhyme

Instead of black and white could it be me and you
Look inside my soul tell me whats visible
Don't put me with the rest I'm an individual
Sometimes the best things lye beyond the phyical

People like you aren't supposed to do what you do
People like me what the f*** people like you
That prejudge and can't get beyond the color lines
Corrupt children and they children's minds spread through bloodlines
Hatred is not an instinct
Get some education for ya ass and then tell me what ya think
Learn from those I come in contact watch for attack
Keep my guard up down for combat
Can't back away cuz they don't see it my way
Or they not used to people like me comin they way
Only hate cuz people fear the unknown
But fear drive me to take a chance and be bold
Try to knock me down gotta stay on my toes
Prevail winner of the game cuz they think I'm gon fold
More than you see more than skin and bones
More than blood more than flesh im soul

Instead of black and white could it be me and you
Look inside my soul tell me whats visible
Don't put me with the rest I'm an individual
Sometimes the best things lye beyond the phyical

Yeah it gets rough being the minority's tough
Yeah there's been times I felt like I had enough
Bout to give up but I held strong
Felt like lettin' go of my dreams but I held on
I can't let anyone stand in my way
Everyone got they opinion I don't care what they say
Out of NY moved to the LI-TH-ONIA down to Ga
Me and my roommate stand out in the complex
Aint no thing I relate through rhyme contest
Earn my respect through rhymes
Rhymes help me get through times
When ignorant people creep under my skin and get to mines
I don't understand they mind state
Talk about both sides of the board dog they make me irate
Need to pick up a book and work they intellect
And let respect gain respect

Instead of black and white could it be me and you
Look inside my soul tell me whats visible
Don't put me with the rest I'm an individual
Sometimes the best things lye beyond the phyical

I am one with the world tonight
I am proud to be this far from you

You say that you have no regrets
But I know that you do
You told me someone stole the eye
I know him too

[Chorus:]

I've come to the conclusion, yes I know
That between black and white
There is no room for two
The scale it might be wide
But there's no need to be blind
Between black and white there is no room for two

[Verse:]

I leave all the grey behind
I see clear, I know that I'll find

You claim that you are innocent
But tell me who aint
You think that you're going to be saved
There's no such thing as a saint

Black and White
There's nothing in between
Black and White
Nothing's what it seems

J and D here united
Black and white here to show you how we've been delighted
The new generation since the mid nineties
Showing you it's done if you think you are a smartie
Telling you the truth since we spotted eachother
We'd like to big up our elder sister and brother
Because they are the legend and they are like no other
Trained by the greater legend mother and father

Now we think jump up lyrics are alright
But we'd like to broadcast a subject we know is not right
Look at us- but don't look at us in disgust
Because you know the reality and it's time to adjust
Think to yourself- don't be foolish about it
Fix up your brain or you'll be the target
A black man and a white woman living together
Face the facts you fascist perpetrators

And as the world is getting smaller and smaller
We can only get closer and closer
Building this community of sound
Celebrating the unity we've found
And we know this is the model to follow
For all the dub children of tommorow
As they grow under shifting skies
We'll se every nation in their eyes

Black and white here has united
We're here to show you how we've been delighted
Black and white here has united
Building this community of sound

Read all about it tell me
Have you heard the news?
Captain Bob he don't pay no dues
You know he's looking in my window
He’s stepping on my toes
Don’t want the truth and it goes to show

I got a joker up my sleeve
I know what to believe
It ain't right just because it's in
Black and white

Find yourself a hero
Treat him like a friend
You build him up and tear him down again
It don't hold a candle hold it to the light
Check it out is it wrong or right
Is this the news of the world?
It’s just a pretty girl
She’s all the news that's fit to print in
Black and white

Inside information taken down note by note
A silent footstep that's all she wrote
Shit that's all she wrote
No need to worry the baby's gone to bed
Dreaming dirty dreams in
Black and white

And read
Now I got nothing to fear
Is this the scoop of the year?
Headlines on my bathroom wall in
Black and white

Yeah, I have dreams of you and I
And those dreams that I dream
It's in black and white

[1] - I dream in black and white
But I make love in color
Ooh, girl, you're body so tight
I wanna make you my lover
I dream in black and white
But I make love in color
Ooh, girl, you're body's so right
I wanna make you my lover

My tease couldn't paint a better picture
Of a holy tipper, who praises for days
I know I make good love to you
That's what I heard you say
Don't blame it on the paintbrush
You should blame it on the campus
Cuz these small time minds don't really understand us
Ooh, baby, yeah

[Repeat 1]

They said I broke the laws of motion
The way you made an image of me
But I got all seven seas open
Your third eye couldn't even see
But could you make a groan
So I could leave your first body alone
Girl, you got me in a zone
I said I'm cryin' out for more, oh

[2] - Don't touch there too much
Cuz I could get a little crazy
It's almost scandalous
Baby, can never wanna leave me

[Repeat 1]

[Repeat 2]

I dream in black and white
But I make love in color

That's my style, baby

Take a look at the big picture now
See if you see what I see
Homeless and starving right in our streets
That's where attention should be
The tv and media keep pushin' this shit in our face
Televised coverage of civilized hatred disgraced
Stereotype, it's the same hype, you've heard it all before
We're all victims of the system
I'll say no more!

Black and white

Martin Luther was a man with a dream
Solutions for all creeds
White bigots like Sharpton act and pretend
That's how the white racists feed
The new KKK and the young nazis say it's too late
A new generation of racists wanting to hate
Divide and conquer power mongers that's the way it's done
To pit each other against his brother
We're all God's sons!

Black and white

Have you retained one thing that you've heard
Or is it all over your head?
Tension is rising dividing the state
Inhaling lies you are fed
These talk shows are booming where nothing constructive gets done
Lashing out insults tell me now what's to be won?
Politicians, word magicians they've got us fighting ourselves
Simple logic with hands in our pockets
We're all for sale!

Black and white

As the walls are closing in
And the colors fade to black
And my eyes are falling fast and deep into me
And I follow the tracks that lead me down
And I never follow what's right
And they wonder sometimes when they see all the
Sadness and pain the truth begins to light

[CHORUS]

'Cause I can't see no reason
What is blind cannot see
'Cause I want what is pleasin'
All I take should be free
What I rob from the innocent ones
What I'd steal from the womb

If I cried me a river of all my confessions
Would I drown in my shallow regret
As the walls are closing in
And the colors fade to black
And the night is falling fast and deep into the sea
And in the darkness all that I can see
The frightened and the weak
Are forced to cling to mistakes they know nothing of
At mercy are the meek

[CHORUS]
