The Black and the White
The Black and the White - Bezerra da Silva
Yeah, but there are black folks, buddy
Who stop for a white one
There are white folks who stop
For a black one too
But for me, it’s all good
For me, it’s all fine
I told the black guy that the white gives white
And the black guy told me it goes way beyond
He told me that the black, despite being black
When it’s good, black can turn white too
That’s why the black guy gets with a white
And the white gets with a black too
The black and the white are clean and bright
They’re always treated the same as a baby
Some folks squeeze, some folks sniff
There are even those who hit and give a friendly kiss
That’s why the black guy gets with a white
And the white gets with a black too
Even in court, it’s been proven
The strength that the black holds in the white
Once he mixes his name with hers
It’s hard to take that name away from someone
That’s why the black guy gets with a white
And the white gets with a black too
