Pride

1. 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.

2. 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 u-u-use it
I state my claim to say it's here for all to play.

[Chorus]

3. When it's time for a change concepts rearrange
Now can't you feel my rage
Well, 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]
