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
Chorus:
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
Chorus
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
