Cruel Youth – Black River lyrics

(Godfather Of Harlem Soundtrack)

[Verse 1]
Get out while you clean
Black River runnin' through our lane
Get out, baby, run
They'll press a bullet on your neck for fun
Don't the devil never take a day off, damn
Don't the devil never take a day off, damn

[Verse 2]
Get out while you can
No sleep for the repo man
Get out with your pride
Pretty things ain't gonna buy you a dime
And don't the devil never take a day off, damn
Don't the devil never take a day off, damn

[Chorus]
Devil at my window
Devil at my door
Devil, make it easy
Devil, give me more
Devil at my window
Devil at my door
Devil, make it easy
Devil, give me more
Black river, oh
Black river, oh

[Verse 3]
Get out of the fire
They'll burn you out with a crooked smile
Get off that supply
They'll call you out like a king on trial
And try to pay the devil, take a day off, damn
Just get out while you can

[Verse 4]
Get on out that ring
They'll cut you down, little puppet string
Back beneath the skin
Countin' cash, stacking up that sin
And don't the devil never take a day off, damn
Just get out while you can, oh

[Chorus]
Devil at my window
Devil at my door
Devil, make it easy
Devil, give me more
Devil at my window
Devil at my door
Devil, make it easy
Devil, give me more
Black river, oh
Black river, oh

Give me black, black, black, black river
Black, black, black river
