I made a million by the time I was ten
I wrote a love song to a rap named "Ben"
And then I got a nose job and changed my chin and made skin light
Look me in the face and tell me if you think I'm black or white

I'm still a virgin and I'm thirty-three
I think Madonna won't have sex with me
I beg little animals and hang out with my girlie all night
And in this night I'm strange enough, I don't know whether I'm black or white

"THWEET!" "Officer, I'm black. Man, you can tell me. Am I black or white?" "You're under arrest!" "So I guess I am black. Ow!"

"In Living Colour" for gangs, clubs, and comedies
Causing grief in MTV Music Television
It's a spoof skit on a global scale
I'd rather hear both sides of the tale
See, it's not about actors "In Living Colour"
Where your video comes from
Is were your TV is, I've seen the bright get duller
I'm not going to spend my life being a color

And then I got a nose job and changed my chin and made skin light
Look me in the face and tell me if you think I'm black or white
And in this night I'm strange enough, I don't know whether I'm black or white
And if you make me gag, I'll beat you down with lead, I'm black or white

(We don't know...We don't know...)

If I'm black or white, you tell me! (We don't know)
I'm black or white, I don't know! (We don't know)
Ah, we don't think I'm black or white, you tell me! (We don't know)
If I'm black or white...WHOO!
