Nina Simone Speaking (Skit)
An artist's duty, as far as I'm concerned, is to reflect the times
I think that is true. Our painters, sculptors, poets, musicians
I choose to reflect the times
And the situations in which I find myself
That, to me, is my duty
And at this crucial time in our lives, when everything is so desperate
When every day is a matter of survival
I don't think you can help but be involved
We will shape and mold this country
Or it will not be molded and shaped at all anymore
So I don't think you have a choice
How can you be an artist and not reflect the times?
I think that is true. Our painters, sculptors, poets, musicians
I choose to reflect the times
And the situations in which I find myself
That, to me, is my duty
And at this crucial time in our lives, when everything is so desperate
When every day is a matter of survival
I don't think you can help but be involved
We will shape and mold this country
Or it will not be molded and shaped at all anymore
So I don't think you have a choice
How can you be an artist and not reflect the times?
