lirik lagu true blues – last poets
true blues aint no new news about who’s been abused
for the blues is as old as my stolen soul
i sang the blues when the missionaries came
p-ssing out bibles in jesus’ name
i sang the blues in the hull of the ship
beneath the sting of the slavemaster’s whip
i sang the blues when the ship anch-r-d the dark
my family being sold on a slave block
i sang the blues being torn from my first born
and hung my head and cried when my wife took his life
and then committed suicide.
i sang the blues on the slavemaster’s plantation helping
him build his free nation
i sang the blues in the cottonfield, hustlin’ to make the daily yield
i sang the blues when he forced my woman to beg
lord knows how i wish he was dead
i sang the blues on the run, ducking the dogs and dodging the gun
i sang the blues hanging from the tree in a desperate attempt to break free
i sang the blues when the sun went down, cursing the master when he wasn’t around
i sang the blues in all these wars dying for some unknown cause
i sang the blues in a high tone, low moan, loud groan, soft grunt, hard funk
i sang the blues in land sea and air, about who when why and where
i sang the blues in church on sunday, slaving on monday, misused on tuesday, abused on wednesday, accused on thursday, fried alive on friday, and died on sat-rday.
sho nuff singing the blues
i sang the blues in the summer, fall winter and spring
i know sho nuff the blues is my thing
i sang the backwater blues, rhythm and blues, gospel blues, saint louis blues, crosstown blues, chicago blues, mississippi godd-mn blues, the watts blues, the harlem blues, hoe blues, gut-bucket blues, funky chunky blues, i sang the up north cigarette corp blues, the down south sprung out the side of my mouth blues,
i sang the blues black, i sang the blues blacker, i sang the blues blackest
i sang bout my sho nuff blue blackness!
