Black And White by Cherryholmes
Black And White lyrics
Oh, let me tell my story friend
That you might learn to stay away from sin
I took a life not mine to take
Imprisoned for this haunting dread mistake
My heart was harder than my soul
They sentenced me to life without parole
Where no one cares, we�re all the same
And I must wear this number for my name
Chorus :
Now life to me is black and white
I�ll wear these stripes until the day I die
But this ball and chain around my leg
Won�t drag me down, won�t drag me down
When I am dead
My mother prayed so hard for me
She did her time down on bended knees
But I was young and I had no fear
Her pleading voice still echoes in my ear
Don�t let the beauty blind your eyes
This world is filled with discolored lies
For greener fields don�t sell your soul
You�ll think you�re rich with a pocket of fool�s gold
Chorus
I�d rather be in this dark cell
Than to be free and die and go to hell
God bless the day of my new birth
I don�t have to pay the price that I deserve
Chorus
Ending:
And when I�m dead and take my flight
I�ll leave behind this world of black and white
