Cherryholmes - Black And White

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 his 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 spent her time, down on bended knees,
But I was young and had no fear, her
Pleading voice, still echo's in my ear

Don't let the beauty blind your eyes,
This world is filled, with dicolored lies,
God bless the day of my new birth, I won't
Have to pay, the price that I deserve

CHORUS

And when I die and take my flight,
I'll leave behind, this world of Black and White
