Pride
Living Colour When I speak out loud You say I'm crazy You say I'm lazy When I'm feeling proud I look around and see the true reality You love our music You like our hair Take time to understand, I'm an equal man Our culture's large, so you abuse it History's a lie that they teach you in school A peaceful land that was born civilized A fraudulent view called the golden rule Was robbed of its riches, its freedom, its pride When I'm at work you say I'm great You watch and ponder, but can you relate? Inviting eyes hands drop, when the music stops It's my culture, so naturally I use it Don't ask me why I play this music I state my claim to say, it's here for all to play Can't you feel my rage... Concepts rearrange It's time for a change It's up to you to seek the truth ChorusTo know your history, the difference between me and you Relate to me as me, not what you see on TV |
