LIVING COLOUR
"History Lesson"
(Vernon Reid)

In Africa, music is not an art form as much as it is a means of communication
A negro has got no name
Quite often, the words of the song are meaningless
A negro has got no name
We are wearing the name of our master
The slave had no separate?
A negro has got no name (Civilisation, start the way)
He was never asked who he was (They tied us to be against one another)
A negro has got no name
Another instrument used to control the mind of the slaves was religion
Is our slaves gonna be free and?
In Africa, music is not an art form as much as it is a means of communication
