Living Colour- Pride (Times Up Album)

Lyrics:
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

Chorus

  • Great song from one of the best albums ever

  • CM Punk!

  • @voltronsky - They`re still making fantastic music, same as white folks but there`s not much cash in it, so don`t expect to see any of it on MTV. You`ll just have to search for it elsewhere.

  • Totally forgot about the power break and incredible guitar solo @2:41, Vernon Reid for prez!!

  • Great musicians, saw them on the street in sweden when they were on tour. Nobody knew who they were. Shame that they faded away.

  • i absolutely love this group. i first heard them when i was 17 yrs old and i was captivated by them, and i will always be a fan of theirs. not only did they have great music but great lyrics also. one of the best rock groups of all time

  • 2:37 groovy-stuff oh yeah!

  • Hmm...do I hear a dash of Ozzy in the vocals?

  • Vernon Reid rocks my socks off
