paroles de chanson Letter To My Countrymen feat. Dr. Cornel West - Brother Ali feat. Dr. Cornel West
I
used
to
think
I
hated
this
place
Couldn't
wait
to
tell
the
president
straight
to
his
face
But
lately
I
changed,
nowadays
I
embrace
it
all
Beautiful
ideals
and
amazing
flaws
Got
to
care
enough
to
give
a
testament
'Bout
the
deeply
depressing
mess
we're
in
It's
home
so
we
better
make
the
best
of
it
I
wanna
make
this
country
what
it
says
it
is
Still
dream
in
the
vividest
living
color
No
matter
how
many
times
my
love
been
smothered
Who's
ever
above
us
won't
just
let
us
suffer
All
of
this
struggling
got
to
amount
to
something
This
is
a
letter
to
my
countrymen
Especially
those
my
age
and
younger
than
We're
up
against
an
ugly
trend
Everybody's
hustling
don't
nobody
touch
their
friends
No
group
singing
and
dancing
No
anthem
nobody
holds
hands,
and...
Instead
they
give
a
handheld
And
make
you
shoulder
life's
burden
by
your
damn
self
One
thing
that
can't
be
debated
Power
never
changed
on
it's
own
you
got
to
make
it
That's
why
community
is
so
sacred
That's
the
symbol
that
we
make
when
we
raise
fists
"Sooner
or
later"
We
don't
really
like
to
talk
about
the
race
thing
The
whole
grandparents
used
to
own
slaves
thing
Pat
ourselves
on
the
back
in
February
Looking
at
pictures
of
Abe
Lincoln
and
the
great
King
But
the
real
picture's
much
more
embarrassing
We're
still
not
even
close
to
really
sharing
things
The
situation
of
oppressed
people
Shows
what
we
feel
it
means
to
be
a
human
being
What
does
it
mean
to
be
American?
I
think
the
struggle
to
free
is
our
inheritance
And
if
we
say
it
how
it
really
is
We
know
our
lily
skin
still
give
us
privilege
Advantages
given
to
the
few
That
are
built
into
the
roots
of
our
biggest
institutions
That's
the
truth
in
life
we
got
to
choose
Do
I
fight
in
the
movement
or
think
I'm
entitled
to
it
This
is
not
a
practice
life
This
is
the
big
game
we
got
to
attack
it
right
Each
one
of
us
is
headed
for
the
grave
This
old
crooked
world
won't
be
saved
by
the
passive
type
This
is
a
letter
to
my
countrymen
Not
from
a
Democrat
or
a
Republican
But
one
among
you
that's
why
you
call
me
brother
Ain't
scared
to
tell
you
we're
in
trouble
'cause
I
love
you
"Sooner
or
later"
They
tell
me
I'm
a
dreamer,
they
ridicule
They
feel
defeated,
old,
bitter,
and
cynical
Excuse
me
but
I
see
it
from
a
different
view
I
still
believe
in
what
a
driven
few
could
really
do
I
know
that
the
masses
want
to
sleep
And
they
would
just
rather
hear
me
rapping
to
the
beat
But
I
want
to
pass
this
planet
to
my
son
A
little
better
than
it
was
when
they
handed
it
to
me
So
I
wrote
a
letter
to
my
countrymen
I'll
be
happy
if
it
only
reaches
one
of
them
Reporting
live
A-L-I,
your
brother
Mourning
in
America,
dreaming
in
color
My
dear
Brother
Ali,
I
think
you
know
deep
down
in
your
soul
that
Something,
something
just
ain't
right.
You
don't
want
to
be
just
well
adjusted
to
injustice
And
well
adapted
to
indifference.
You
want
to
be
A
person
with
integrity
who
leaves
a
mark
on
the
world.
People
can
say
when
you
go
that
you
left
the
world
Just
a
little
better
than
you
found
it.
I
understand.
I
want
To
be
like
that
too.
