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