Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's straight and fly
But there is someone now
You can't let things go by
I never really try
Keep all the leaflets you use
When you go with facts
You can't lose
You break your memories
Until you find your groove
You'd rather run than lose
But chances don't count in twos
[Verse 2]
But when it's your time to choose
You're gonna pay your dues
Think on your blacks and blues
Blacks and blues
[Verse 3]
When it's your time to choose
You will pay your dues
Then come in blacks and blues
Blacks and blues...
