[00:00.00] 作曲 : Carlton Ridenhour & Eric Sadler & Keith Shocklee
[00:01.00] 作词 : D., Sadler, Shocklee
[00:03.68] I get down to what it is
[00:05.40] And if it ain't funky (see ya)
[00:08.01] People askin' me what's goin' on
[00:09.84] With my mind
[00:11.08] (Huh) wait a minute
[00:11.90]
[00:21.04] It's just a matter of race
[00:21.33] Cause a black male's in their face
[00:22.97] Step back for the new jack swing
[00:25.11] On the platter scatter huh
[00:26.52] We got our own thing
[00:29.32] Just jam to let the rhythm run
[00:31.00] Day to day, America eats it's young
[00:33.27] And defeats our women
[00:34.79] There is a gap so wide we all can swim in
[00:37.12] Drown in (uh get down) an get it
[00:40.07] Got it goin' on wit it
[00:41.38] Sister (hey) soul sister
[00:44.36] We goin' be all right
[00:45.61] It takes a man to take a stand
[00:47.48] Understand it takes a
[00:48.47] Woman to make a stronger man
[00:50.14] (As we both get strong)
[00:51.46] They'll call me a crazy Asiatic
[00:52.90] While I'm singin' a song
[00:54.47] Oh my god, oh my lord
[00:55.74]
[00:56.14] I can't hold back
[00:56.77] But I get exact on a track
[00:57.79] It's an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth
[01:00.46] Forget about me
[01:01.38] Just set my sister free
[01:02.73] R-e-s-p-e-c-t my sisters, not my enemy
[01:06.28] (Cause we'll be stronger together)
[01:08.09] And make the suckers say
[01:08.91] (Damn) this generation
[01:10.83]
[01:19.64] They don't know what we got goin' is (sound)
[01:22.15] To turn it all around
[01:23.26] To my sisters I communicate
[01:24.72] With the bass and tone
[01:25.75] through speakers and the microphone
[01:27.44] Cause I'm tired of America dissin' my sisters
[01:29.86] (For example, like they dissed Tawana)
[01:32.01] And they try to say she's a liar
[01:33.87] My people don't believe it
[01:35.17] But even now they're getting higher
[01:36.27] Of the feeling inspiration
[01:38.10] We must know that in this nation
[01:40.46] Every single generation
[01:42.21] (They teach us how to dis our sisters)
[01:44.38] strange as you say, I say revolution
[01:46.55] Need for change brings on revolution
[01:48.82] The great book just look see solution
[01:51.11] God chooses who and what for the bruisin'
[01:53.12] There's been no justice for none
[01:54.81] Of my sisters
[01:55.21] Just us been the ones that's been missin' her
[01:57.45] Now we got to protect
[02:00.21] We get together and damn this generation
[02:01.91]
[02:02.08] I said so to what it is
[02:03.14] Where it is
[02:03.63] She needs a lil' respect
[02:04.99] There it is
[02:05.70] I say she needs a lotta
[02:07.55] Brother from a mother like me has gotta
[02:09.63] Give it up
[02:10.46] Give it now
[02:11.48] And pass it all around
[02:13.03] To my soul (sister)
[02:14.51]
[03:04.63] They disrespected mama and treated her like dirt
[03:07.45] America took her, reshaped her, raped her
[03:10.88] Nope, it never made the paper
[03:12.67] Beat us, mated us
[03:14.13] Made us attack our woman in black
[03:16.37] So I said sophisticated B, don't be one
[03:19.01] Not to head the warning crack of dawn
[03:21.04] Or is it the dawn of crack?
[03:22.42] Stop the talk they say, but
[03:23.71] We talk and say what's right or wrong
[03:25.47] Some say we wasting time singin' a song
[03:27.34] But why is it that we're many different shades
[03:29.69] Black woman's privacy invaded years and years
[03:31.73] You cannot count my mama's tears
[03:33.83] It's not the past but the future's
[03:35.34] What she fears
[03:36.13] Strong we be strong
[03:37.48] The next generation
[03:38.68] It's what not who we are facin'
[03:40.03] The fingers pointed to us in our direction
[03:42.35] The blind state of mind needs correction
[03:44.32] Word to the mother we tighten connection
[03:46.46] To be a man you need no election
[03:48.38] This generation generates a new attitude
[03:50.68] Sister to you we should not be rude
[03:52.80] So we come together
[03:53.94] And make 'em all say
[03:55.56] Damn this generation
