[03:06.92]Black and white a constant fight
[03:09.42]Years and years and day and night
[03:12.10]There was a right I've got to stand
[03:14.98]To make a better way for a young black man

[04:13.13]Children don't be fooled
[04:14.44]And learn about the way that man was ruled
[04:16.56]This country where we live
[04:19.00]And read about the sixties and what they did
[04:21.36]So that we won't forget
[04:24.74]And love one another and give respect
[04:26.80]When I see a man who's old
[04:29.66]A woman who's grey it touches my soul
[04:32.16]Because I know they paved the way
[04:35.04]So we could be here and live this way
[04:37.68]There was a time not long ago
[04:40.24]When in the-front-of-the-bus into the back I had to go
[04:44.56]It appears that things have changed
[04:46.12]Maybe it's in the method but it's still the same game
