The song already had a special meaning to me. This video adds a great exclamation point. Enjoy and, please, think about it what’s being said here.  It applies to more than what you might assume.

Pride – Living Colour

Written by 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 cultures 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
Its my culture, so naturally I use it
I state my claim to say, its here for all to play

Chorus

Its time for a change
Concepts rearrange
Cant you feel my rage…

Its 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
