Текст песни Black and White (Bleu Edmondson) с переводом

Lay down mama get some rest, there s not much more than you can do

Gonna lose the house, pop ain’t comin back, God and luck will pull us through

I m almost 18, school ain’t workin out never did much for me anyhow

I m gonna find some work, there s gotta be life left in this town

I beat the street all day long, but they all got death in their eyes

There ain’t no work and it don t look good, we gotta compromise

There was a man last week down at the school with a real nice uniform

Said I could sign my name and be reborn

Some folks live in the black and white folks like us survive in the gray

There s a voice out in the distance that says we re gonna be ok

So keep that cross around your neck and remember what we say

All good things come with the light of day

I m gonna pack you up and send you out to Uncle Jack s near Abilene

Said they d put you up til I get back though I don t know when it ll be

But don t you cry or worry too bad I ll be a lion from a lamb

Trust me mama this ain’t no Vietnam

I m gonna head downtown to meet the bus today I m bound for Caroline

Keep me deep in your heart and know you live in mine
