Beat Snippet #3
Uh, this street is my world
I don't, uh
I don't pretend to go uptown and be anything fancy
I can
But I find more real in the world that I'm in
Than I do the tensile
And the real world is the one I have to deal with every day, you know
So, brothers and sisters
Since we can see that the Uncle Sam has failed us
And he has failed us
And it is the system that is being used
To deprive you and me of our rights
A very tricky and treacherous system
To further the political oppression
And the political exploitation
Of 22 million black people in this country
It's not an accident that you're in my plight
Thoroughly tramped upon and exploited and spat upon
But there has been a conspiracy
To keep you and me barking up the civil rights tree
So we wouldn't be aware of the human rights tree
So, brothers and sisters
Since we can see-
I don't, uh
I don't pretend to go uptown and be anything fancy
I can
But I find more real in the world that I'm in
Than I do the tensile
And the real world is the one I have to deal with every day, you know
So, brothers and sisters
Since we can see that the Uncle Sam has failed us
And he has failed us
And it is the system that is being used
To deprive you and me of our rights
A very tricky and treacherous system
To further the political oppression
And the political exploitation
Of 22 million black people in this country
It's not an accident that you're in my plight
Thoroughly tramped upon and exploited and spat upon
But there has been a conspiracy
To keep you and me barking up the civil rights tree
So we wouldn't be aware of the human rights tree
So, brothers and sisters
Since we can see-
