They tricked us with trinkets and beads,
And tricked us right into slavery.
Traditional customs, crafts and arts,
They put in their museums.
Oh people, don't you see the plot? Yeh!
To take all we've got!
Got to save - black music.
Fight to save - sweet music, now.
Got to save black music, now.
Let the music flow.. oh Lord!
We've.. paid that price, so many times,
Comes to claimin' dues, we're the first in line.
Freedom songs echoed these plantations,
I and I survive, to this present time.
Oh people, don't you see the plot?
To take all we've got!
Got to save - black music.
Fight to save - sweet music, now.
Got to save black music, now.
Music sweet music ha ha ha..
It no funny.
Through our sprits came,
Reggae, jazz, funk and blues.
Music the food of life.
So don't just stand there,
And let them take your share.
They claim that fame,
And give you not a care.
We walk those streets,
Without a dime.
Play hid and seek,
The pie in the sky.
Got to save black music, now!
Now, now. Save black music now!
(music, music, sweet music)
Gather round come get strong,
Help I sing this freedom song.
Save Black music, now.
Keep it in control, now.
Never let it go, now.
Keep it in control, now.
(music, music, sweet music)
Never let it go, now.
Keep it in control, now.
(music, music, sweet music)
