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
It's my culture, so naturally I use it
I state my claim to say, it's here for all to play
It's time for a change
Concepts rearrange
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
Always had a lot of time for Living Colour I have to say with Muzz Skillings or Doug Wimbish on bass. Always a great selection of covers played and releasing 'Bi' as a single I suspect involved a bit (a lot?) of pushing back against their record company. A band that should have been much bigger than they are. And as for Vernon Reid's guitar work...
Also that mix coming in at 44mins29 secs. Where's a C-90 when you need one? (Well that and a decent cassette deck)
