paroles de chanson Before They Called You White - Brother Ali
At
what
point
did
poor
European
people
that
used
to
rebel
Against
the
ones
that
forced
them
to
work
land
they
didn't
own
and
die
with
nothing
of
their
own
What
was
it
that
turned
their
hearts
so
that
they
start
to
Identify
with
power
even
though
they're
powerless
Identify
with
wealth
even
though
they're
broke?
It's
the
invention
of
whiteness
They
call
you
white
by
white
standards
Damn
what
they're
talking
'bout
human
first
Stand
and
curse
the
dirty
hand
that
first
crafted
the
plan
Spread
it
through
the
land
and
shattered
the
damn
Earth
This
is
sickest
system
that
ever
existed
Since
this
Earth's
beginning,
commenced,
it's
twisting
How
you
convince
man
with
red
blood
to
bleed?
Completely
devalue
what
a
human
being
means
Nobody
called
themselves
white
several
centuries
ago
They
were
living
off
the
land
with
the
trees
They
were
Dutch,
they
were
Irish,
they
were
German
They
were
Greek
with
culture,
families,
tradition
and
beliefs
And
rich
blood
suckers
saw
new
soil
to
seize
And
they
ain't
'bout
to
get
their
hands
dirty,
cracker
please
Swindled
you
to
trade
in
your
identity
Showed
you
pie
in
the
sky
and
promised
you
a
piece
With
symbolic
image
in
the
scripture
that
you're
reading
White
holy
angels
and
black
evil
demons
You
were
so
starving
that
you
started
to
believe
it
Now
you'll
die
colonizing
for
somebody
else's
greed
Don't
you
see
the
overseers
are
still
in
the
field?
Every
breath
a
warden
breathe
is
still
in
the
jail
You
will
never
own
that
farm
or
the
prison
for
real
Terrified
of
the
time
when
your
victims
rebel
Listen
you
don't
fear
them,
you
fear
the
blood
on
your
hand
All
the
ugly
you
done
to
that
man
That
woman,
that
child,
that
land
That
sea,
that
sky,
that
they'd
look
you
in
the
eye
And
demand
that
you
tell
them
why
All
them
years
whipping,
and
lying,
and
killing
Generations
of
poison,
and
bombing,
and
drilling
All
designed
to
turn
the
hearts
of
your
children
to
stone
Got
post
traumatic
slave
master
syndrome
How
the
hell
are
y'all
going
to
heal,
be
made
whole?
You
identifying
with
the
people
in
control
You
can't
throw
a
human
in
the
bottom
of
a
boat
Unless
somebody
got
a
damn
chain
around
your
soul
In
that
middle
passage
asking
who
got
stole?
A
hot
auction
block
where
your
blood
ran
cold
Every
day
a
cop
let
them
shots
explode
You're
gon'
have
to
find
a
way
to
regain
your
soul
I
said
the
eye
can't
see
itself
It
can't
sit
back,
critique
itself,
and
peep
itself
It
needs
help
Take
the
sword
for
example
No
matter
how
hard,
it
can't
carve
its
own
handle
I
said
the
eye
can't
see
itself
It
can't
sit
back,
critique
itself,
and
peep
itself
It
needs
help
Take
the
sword
for
example
No
matter
how
hard,
it
can't
carve
its
own
handle
The
inner
city
of
our
cities
is
like
another
country.
The
rules
are
different.
It's
almost
like
you
need
a
passport
there.
The
police
treat
people
differently.
When
I
lived
out
in
the
suburbs,
if
my
car
broke
down
on
the
highway
and
a
state
trooper
pulled
up
behind
me,
I
wouldn't
have
been
scared.
I'd
have
been
glad.
But
young
man
after
young
man
after
young
man
had
been
beaten
by
the
police
and
the
only
way
you
know,
you've
got
to
be
with
the
people
and
we
live
separated.
We
go
in
air
conditioned
cars
and
we
stick
on
your
interstates
and
hang
out
with
people
just
like
us.
Well,
by
God's
grace,
I
was
brought
into
this,
and
seeing
how
race
plays
a
part
and
how
poverty
plays
a
part,
and
my
job
is
to
go
out
to
the
American
people
