I saw Eddie singing this at Glastonbury he was fantastic they could not get him off the stage , so the turned the electric off...He was fantastic the crowd loved him....x
as a white man in uk i cant begin to understand what it must be like to have been kept under just because you were born in the wrong skin. what a sad world we live in. this song i hope does give others hope

I have massive respect for Eddie Grant,because,apart from the fantastic compositions,he played every instrument himself,wrote the song,and performed it in a way that makes a total joke of the manufactured junk around today.I see him as a kind of Bob Dylan,on a political protest level.Simply the best
still sounds awesome today :))) loved him as a child and still do :))))

If you wish to understand 'being kept under just because you were born in the wrong skin', just go to Zimbabwe and own land or business.
