paroles de chanson History - Thievery Corporation feat. Mr. Lif & Sitali
//
VERSE
ONE
//
First
and
foremost
I'm
a
black
Barbadian
man
A
Bajan
Yankee
Who
was
born
in
this
American
land
My
role?
Well,
I'm
the
griot
Blessed
with
free
flow
And
a
pea
coat
My
cause
I
came
to
connect
with
people
My
history
is
spotty
just
like
yours
I've
lied
to
myself
I've
broken
laws
I've
told
untruths
to
others
I
love
my
father
and
my
mother
and
my
brother
You
love
your
family
too?
Well
let's
consider
this
our
glue
As
we're
bonded
through
this
common
experience
Don't
get
distracted
by
the
variants
I'm
holding
pain
Here
it
is:
I
can't
be
black
without
historic,
systematic
oppression
I
can't
look
at
a
cop
without
second
guessing
These
are
confessions
of
the
heaviness
& stress
I
hold
daily
But
still
light
on
my
feet
like
Alvin
Ailey
I'm
just
a
mortal
man
talking
with
you
We
all
cling
to
the
things
we
hold
true
//
CHORUS
//
You've
got
the
soul
Live
with
it
every
day
You've
got
the
role
And
everybody's
gotta
play
Break
out
the
books
Learn
your
history
You've
got
the
soul
Live
with
it
every
day...

Maybe
you
heard
of
Nat
Turner
the
rebellious
slave
He's
well
known
because
he
misbehaved
Or
rather
he
behaved
in
ways
that
aligned
with
his
people's
freedom
So
of
course
you
know
the
system
needed
to
delete
him
This
happened
back
in
1831
Nowadays
I
feel
our
lives
are
just
a
Living,
breathing
issue
of
the
re-run
The
Power
divide
initialized
To
never
skip
a
season
Look
at
the
collective
consciousness
and
what
we've
become
The
punishment
for
slave
rebellion
back
then
Was
to
limit
education
to
black
women
and
black
men
Look
at
the
current
costs
of
education
Plus
Check
out
the
music
on
your
local
station
Mind
numbing
The
times
coming
To
seize
a
change
The
media
will
spin
the
shit
to
make
the
activists
all
look
deranged
I'm
just
a
mortal
man
talking
with
you
We
all
cling
to
the
things
we
hold
true
You've
got
the
soul
Live
with
it
every
day
You've
got
the
role
And
everybody's
gotta
play
Break
out
the
books
Learn
your
history
You've
got
the
soul
Live
with
it
every
day
