Letra de Save Black Music

They tricked us with trinkets and beads And tricked us right into slavery Traditional customs Crafts and arts They put away in the museums Oh, people, don't you see the plot...Yeh To take all we've got. Got to save Black music Fight to save sweet music now God to save Black music now Let the music flow, oh Lord We've paid that price so many times Comes to claimin' dues we're the first in line Freedom songs echoed these plantatons I an I survive To this present time Oh, people, don't you see the plot To take all we've got Music sweet music ha ha ha it no funny Through our spirits came Reggae Jazz Funk and Blues Music the food of life So don't just stand there And let them take your share They claim that fame And give you not a care We walk those streets Without a dime Play hide and seek The pie in the sky Hear me when I say Gather round come get strong Help I sing this freedom song Save Black music now Keep it in control now Never let it go now Keep it in control now
