Lyrics:

[Intro]
Now I know I wrote this song
For somebody, Cause I know
At some point in everybody's life
We just feel like

[Verse 1]
Lord, I'm split in two
Part of me loves the world
And the other loves you
So, what do I do
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

[Hook]
If it's God that I'm after
I just can't serve two masters
And before something happens
I gotta turn it all around

[Chorus]
Cause 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
It'd be cool if we could love the Lord
And still go do our thing
But see it doesn't work like that
You gotta be white or black

[Verse 2]
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
See I don't wanna keep going to church
Singing all about how much you're worth
And then continue doing my dirt
Living as if I didn't care if you're hurt

[Hook]
If it's God that I'm after
I just can't serve two masters
And before something happens
I gotta turn it all around

[Chorus]
Cause 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
It'd be cool if we could love the Lord
And still go do our thing
But see it doesn't work like that
You gotta be white or black

It don't work like that
You gotta be white or black
No gray, no shades of gray
No no no no no no no no no
