Lyric Pride

Will Calhoun

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 stopsDon 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
