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 death 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
