Tyler, The Creator narrates a poignant love story in 'Black & White Love.' The song draws a powerful parallel between the complexities of an interracial relationship and the historical struggle of segregation, highlighting the unity and triumph of love over societal divisions.
Chorus:
Me and my baby, black and white like segregation
But our love's a celebration, no need for explanation
We're breaking through the barriers, no hesitation
Me and my baby, love's the ultimate sensation
Verse 1:
I met her on a Tuesday, colors didn’t matter
She lightened up my dark days, made my heart beat fatter
Mama said it might be tough, ain’t no easy ladder
But when I hold her close, nothing else could shatter
Bridge:
They try to paint us different, but we blend in harmony
Our love defies the pigment, it’s more than they can see
We’re rewriting history, our fairy tale’s unique
Me and my baby, friendship turned so sleek
Chorus:
Me and my baby, black and white like segregation
But our love's a celebration, no need for explanation
We're breaking through the barriers, no hesitation
Me and my baby, love's the ultimate sensation
Verse 2:
Can’t box us or divide us, we’re a revolution
Each kiss a proclamation, against the institution
We fight against the current, love’s the contribution
Our hearts are intertwined, set in true communion
Bridge:
They throw us to the sidelines, but we fight back strong
In this crazy world, it’s love that takes us along
We’re rewriting the rules, where love belongs
Me and my baby, this is our song
Chorus:
Me and my baby, black and white like segregation
But our love's a celebration, no need for explanation
We're breaking through the barriers, no hesitation
Me and my baby, love's the ultimate sensation
Outro:
Me and my baby, shades don’t matter in the night
In the daylight or twilight, our future’s bright
Love beyond the colors, soaring to new heights
Me and my baby, together we ignite

Me and my baby black and white like segregation
