Why I Sing The Blues - Aretha Franklin [00:00:01]

Everybody wants to know, [00:00:22]

they ask me why I sing the blues[00:00:25]

Everybody wants to know now, [00:00:30]

why I keep crying the blues[00:00:33]

Well, I've been around little while [00:00:37]

and I've paid some dues, yes, I have[00:00:41]

People laying in ghetto flats, cold and numb[00:00:44]

Looking at roaches, [00:00:48]

telling bedbugs to move over and give 'em some[00:00:49]

Oh, it's hot in here, [00:00:52]

that's one reason I'm singing the blues, yeah[00:00:55]

Been around a long time, [00:01:00]

God knows I've paid a few dues, yes, I have[00:01:02]

Stood in line at the County Hall[00:01:07]

Heard a man saying: [00:01:10]

"We're gonna build some apartments for y'all[00:01:11]

Up in renewal, work on a removal, talk to me, yeah[00:01:15]

Don't feel bad about it, just trying to be free[00:01:21]

I don't want my kids growing up to be no fools[00:01:28]

You keep rapping to me y'all ain't got no room in school, yeah[00:01:32]

And you want to know why I'm singing the blues, yeah[00:01:39]

Been around a little while [00:01:44]

and I've seen some people paying dues, yes, I have[00:01:47]

Some of my friends told me I was born to loose[00:01:51]

But when I looked around [00:01:54]

they were singing the same old kind of blues, now[00:01:55]

And you want to know [00:02:01]

why I'm singing 'em this evening, yeah[00:02:02]

Don't be saying those,[00:02:06]

everybody pays some dues sometimes[00:02:08]

Yeah, sing the blues now[00:02:12]
