Living Colour - Pride текст песни

Will calhoun

When I speak out loud

You say Im crazy

When Im feeling proud

You say Im lazy

I look around and see the true reality

You like our hair

You love our music

Our cultures large, so you abuse it

Take time to understand, Im an equal man

Chorus:

Historys 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 Im at work you say Im great

You watch and ponder, but can you relate?

Inviting eyes hands drop, when the music stops

Dont ask me why I play this music

Its my culture, so naturally I use it

I state my claim to say, its here for all to play

Chorus

Its time for a change

Concepts rearrange

Cant you feel my rage...

Its 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

Chorus
