Now I know wrote this song for somebody Cause I figure at some point in everybody's life We just feel like Lord I'm split in two Part of me loves the world And the other loves You So what do I do I wanna be saved But I gotta stay cool too And no I'm not a fool I know eventually I'm gonna have to choose And really I don't wanna lose My ticket into heaven And a chance to be used by You And if it's You I'm after Then I can't serve two masters And before something happens I gotta turn it all around Because I know I can't just have my cake and eat it too Cause it's real easy to stay on the fence and still do You And it'd be cool if we could love the Lord and still go do our thing But see it doesn't work like that I gotta be white or black Oh ooohh Lord I've realized when it comes to sin You just don't compromise It's a matter of d**h and life Be weak and do wrong Or be strong and do right And I don't wanna keep going to church Singing about how much You're worth And then continue doing my dirt
Living as if I didn't care if You're hurt And if it's God that I'm after Then I can't serve two masters And before something happens I gotta turn it all around Because ya know You can't just have your cake and eat it too Cause it's real easy to stay on the fence and still do You And it'd be cool if we could love the Lord and still go do our thing See it doesn't work like that You gotta be white or black We saint's gotta Get it together Just gotta Get it together And if it's God we're after We gotta pick one master And before something happens We betta turn it all around Because ya know You can't just have your cake and eat it too Cause it's really easy to stay on the fence and still do you And it'd be cool if we could love the Lord and still go do our thing See it doesn't work like that u gotta be white or black Cause it don't work like that You gotta pick white or black... No gray No shades of gray No no no no no no no no nah Don't work like that Gotta be white or black
