Blak and Blu - Gary Clark, Jr.

When you’re feeling down and out

When you’re feeling black and blue

You should feel like you can come to me

And I’ll tell you the truth

Yet somewhere we got twisted

How do we get lifted?

How did we not go insane?

For so long we’ve existed

Still we are resisted

Why is it we still remain?

Black and blue, yeah

Black, black and blue

Oh no, don’t leave me

Black and blue, yeah

Black, black and blue

Oh no, don’t leave me

They say you get just what you paid for

And that you reap just what you sow

So, you won’t get everything you pray for

Surprises me that you don’t know, by now

I need something to hold on to

While the world is spinning 'round and 'round

It could crumble any moment

I keep my feet on solid ground, for now
