True Blues - The Last Poets[00:00:00]

Written by：Alafia Pudim[00:00:00]

True blues[00:00:00]

Ain't no new news[00:00:01]

'Bout who's been abused[00:00:03]

For the blues is as old[00:00:05]

As my stolen soul[00:00:06]

I sang the blues when the missionaries came[00:00:08]

Passing out bibles in Jesus' name[00:00:10]

I sang the blue in hull of the ship[00:00:13]

Beneath the sting of the slavemaster's whip[00:00:15]

I sang the blues when the ship anchored[00:00:18]

The dock[00:00:20]

My family being sold on a slave block[00:00:21]

I sang the blues being torn from my first born[00:00:23]

And hung my head and cried[00:00:27]

When my wife took his life[00:00:28]

And then committed suicide[00:00:30]

I sang the blues on the slavemaster's[00:00:32]

Plantation[00:00:34]

Helping him build his tree nation[00:00:35]

I sang the blues in the cotton field[00:00:37]

Hustlin' to make the daily yield[00:00:40]

I sang the blues when he forced my woman[00:00:42]

To bed[00:00:44]

Lord knows I wish he was dead[00:00:44]

I sang the blues on the run[00:00:47]

Ducking the dogs and dodging the gun[00:00:49]

I sang the blues hangin' from the tree[00:00:51]

In a desperate attempt to break free[00:00:54]

I sang the blue from sun up to down[00:00:56]

Cursing the master when he wasn't around[00:00:59]

I sang the blues in all his wars[00:01:01]

Dying for someone uknown cause[00:01:04]

I sang the blues in the high tone low moan[00:01:06]

Load groan soft grunt hard f**k[00:01:09]

I sang the blues on land sea and air[00:01:12]

About who when why and where[00:01:14]

I sang the blues in church on Sunday[00:01:16]

Slavin' on Monday[00:01:19]

Misused on Tuesday[00:01:20]

Abused on Wednesday[00:01:22]

Accused on Thursday[00:01:23]

Fried alive on Friday[00:01:25]

And died on Saturday[00:01:26]

Sho'nuff singin the blues[00:01:27]

I sang the blues in the summer fall winter[00:01:29]

And spring[00:01:31]

I know sho'nuff the blues is my thing[00:01:32]

I sang the backwater blues[00:01:35]

Rhythm and blues[00:01:36]

Gospel blues[00:01:37]

St. Louis blues[00:01:37]

Crosstown blues[00:01:39]

Chicago blues[00:01:40]

Mississipi Goddam blues[00:01:41]

The Watts blues[00:01:43]

Harlem blues[00:01:44]

Hough blues[00:01:45]

Gutbucket blues[00:01:45]

F**ky junkie blues[00:01:46]

I sang the up north cigarette cough blues[00:01:47]

The down south strung out the side of my[00:01:50]

Mouth blues[00:01:52]

I sang the blues black[00:01:53]

I sang the blues blacker[00:01:54]

I sang the blues blackest[00:01:56]

I sang about my sho'nuff blue blackeness[00:01:57]
