Act Won (Things Fall Apart) - The Roots
You are all
We don't even come
to see our own man
Listen Freddy listen
If we had to depend
upon black people to eat
We would starve to death
You've been out there
You on the bandstand
You look out there
What do you see
You see Japanese
you see
you see West Germans
You see Slobovic
you know anything
except our people man
It makes no sense
it incenses me
that our own people
Don't realize our own heritage
our own culture
This is our music
That's bullshit
Why
That's all bullshit
Everything everything you
just said is bullshit
You're complaining about
I'm talking about the audience
That's right
The people don't come
because you grandiose
motherfuckers don't play
shit that they like
If you played the shit
that they liked
then the people would come
Simple as that
Inevitably hip hop records
are treated as though
they are disposable
They are not maximized
as product
not to mention as art
