Pride

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
