MORE THAN A RHYTHM NATION
COME TOGETHER AND SING!
IF YOU DREAMED OF A BETTER DAY
THIS IS THE WAY....
RHYTHM NATION
"With music by our side
To break the color lines
Let's work together
To improve our way of life
Join voices in protest
To social injustice
A generation full of courage
Come forth with me
People of the world today
Are we looking for a better way of life
We are part of the rhythm nation
People of the world unite
Strenght in numbers we can get it right
One time
We are a part of the rhythm nation
This is the test
No struggle no progress
Lend a hand to help
Your brother do his best
Things are getting worse
We have to make them better
It's time to give a damn
Let's work together come on"

There has been a barrage of
songs recorded year after year with the same message. From fight the power to
send help I need somebody help and who would forget to mention the old but
goody, let freedom ring. Love that beat
but skip the point entirely. Just
another cry for help gone undetected as planed, as if the meaning were that
in-comprehensive?
So where do we go from
here? That was a song also but today
blacks especially need to start taking it serious and start pulling together
and stop thinking of self, but of each other.
If there were only one race and that’s the human race, then we wouldn’t
be having this discussion now would we?
Here in Saint
Louis during the
World’s Fair they locked us up in cages like animals and referred to us as
moneys and people came from around the world to see. They bought and sold us on the River Front
like cattle. Now when there is any kind
of issue dealing with blacks, we want to say there’s only one race and that’s
the human race. Where was that ideology back
then, when we were still slaves until 1942?
We weren’t even thought of as a race no more than being looked up on as
human today. Because their great, great
grand parents past that seed down through them
And that same hatred lives
on. Therefore we will never be one race,
which is why the messages in these songs intended more so for you, are
ignored. For THINKING OUT LOUD, I’m E.
