I get a call from Vance he`s an old friend
He`s got some you-won`t-believe-story to share
He`s the place that I go when I need someone who knows me
He brings the smile of a billionaire
And I laugh when he pretends he`s a white guy
`Cause he knows how bad I fail playing black
He says, `;If even you could, I don`t advise that you should
`Cause once you go there you might not want to turn back`;
(chorus)
There isn`t a thing
in this God-all-mighty world that I wouldn`t do
to help him outta trouble
Seein` as how we`re friends and
that goes deeper than skin can go
to a translucent soul
Deeper than color will show
translucent soul
He says, `;Now, you and I, I know we look a little different,
but, I was raised middle class, same as you.
But, let`s make it clear even on the way here,
I had to watch for blue lights in the rear view `;
He says, `;Last week, I was visiting L.A.,
walking the streets where the riots went down.
You got black killing black killing black killing black,
while all the whites were sweating bullets across town`;
(chorus)
He says, `;In L.A., they`re whispering race war,
like it`s something that has yet to begin
like they can plug up the cracks
in four hundred years of history
and prove that the melting pot`s not broken`;
He says, `;In the event of some unlikely disaster,
we find ourselves armed, and face to face `;
I said, `;I`d turn around, I would protect your ground`;
He said, `;I`d do the same thing for you at your place`;
