GOOD GUYS WEAR BLACK
(lyrics: the fly/Sammy Jean/Rubix)

The Ace is thrown
You’re all in for too many souls
You’ve givin up up more than
You had a right to hold
Got Jacked upon the lies
From underneath your belt
A Royal Flush for all the
Cards that weʼve been dealt

You say your words are
Worth more when theyʼre
Cocked In hand
Youʼre not outnumbered baby
But you are outmanned
Juxtaposed when judging
Just to feel justified
Well you’re a fool
To think our thoughts
Are separated
From our minds

(Rap)
So you thought that u knew
What you knew
and now yer pissed
For what the gods put you through
Spilled milk
Dismantled
Head blown like a gasket
Deadpan mannequin
A Ninja
Just to mask it

You hold the grudge
Cuz someone’s burnt the match
Tried to forge ahead but
Couldn’t seize the snatch
Hiding with the devils and the demons
In the darkness
Staring at a mirror
You’re seeing a living carcass

Chorus:
We say good guys wear black
So why u buggin? (2x)


Weʼre bitter pills and
Were here just to plant the seed
Awaken minds, redemption
Smack the hand of greed

You’re colorblind
And now weʼve had to
Fade to black
When will you learn
Compassions what you really lack

We play the muse
Because we can and cuz we care
Our master plan will profit
With some change to spare

A world asleep
Itʼs time to melt time
From itʼs freeze and we believe
The very arms you raise
Will bring you to your knees

(Rap)
Black
A dress code in effect
Dipped into the magic
Slipped the intercept
Airwaves toxic
A groove removed
Turned a false profit
Out of something used
I’m in the stealth
I’m colored in the jet
My wisdom
Will interrupt the system
Like a threat
Use my pencil and my bars
Like a mental camouflage
Mirage of the real
Conceals potential sabotage

(chorus)

Was all bout lovin’
Love
