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 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 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 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 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 And when I'm dead and take my flight I'll leave behind this world of black and white
