Save Black Music (LP Version)

[00:33.26] They tricked us with trinkets and beads
[00:37.84] And tricked us right into slavery
[00:42.99] Traditional customs
[00:45.49] Crafts and arts
[00:47.73] They put in their museums
[00:52.60] Oh people don't you see the plot yeh
[00:57.96] To take all we've got
[01:02.79] Got to save Black music
[01:04.97] Fight to save sweet music now
[01:07.79] Got to save Black music now
[01:20.64] Le the music flow, oh Lord
[01:30.20] We've paid that price so many times
[01:40.21] Comes to claimin' dues we're the first in line
[01:45.09] Freedom songs echoed these plantations
[01:50.11] I and I survive
[01:52.42] To this present time
[01:54.90] Oh people don't you see the plot
[01:59.73] To take all we've got
[02:05.45] Got to save Black music
[02:07.60] Fight to save sweet music now
[02:10.43] Got to save Black music now
[02:38.12] Through our sprits came
[02:40.46] Reggae Jazz Funk and Blues
[02:42.62] Music the food of life
[02:47.76] So don't just stand there
[02:49.90] And let them take your share
[02:52.49] They claim that fame
[02:55.25] And give you not a care
[02:57.58] We walk those streets without a dime
[03:02.39] Play hid and seek
[03:03.95] The pie in the sky
[03:07.84] Got to save Black music
[03:13.74] Fight to save sweet music now
[03:24.84] Gather round the country side
[03:27.14] Help I sing this freedom song
[03:29.98] Save Black music now
[03:34.14] Keep it in control now
[03:39.81] Never let it go now
[03:44.17] Keep it in control now
[03:48.12] Never let it go down
[03:54.12] Keep it in control now
[03:58.64] Never let it go down
[04:02.06]
