lyrics

I don’t understand
What it’s like to walk a mile in your skin
I can’t say I know
Because the fact is I’ll never be you

The hate that you face
For simply being who you are
I’m sorry it took so long
For me to say anything at all

My silence
Creates their violence

To the ones like me
Whose privilege is clear
You have to realize
What you need to hear
If you listen and learn
from the oppressed
You can use your voice
And help make the difference

If you refuse to take action
You’ve chose your side
Fed into their racist agenda
Looks like their trap’s caught another rat

Look, learn, and listen
White silence equals violence

My People... Hold On
by Zulu

supported by 4 fans who also own “White Silence (feat. Mike of Cold Shoulder)”

Wonderful dramatic opening, the voice of a black woman in all her honesty, vulnerability and openess. And then one of the fiercest tracks of Zulu, total hardcore: 'Now they are through with me', full of twists and turns, and suddenly ending in a kind of soul-track, brilliant! This is 21st century music at it's best. The end lecture is dramatic and disturbing, spoken again by a black woman. Makes you think. Hesperus

I love the musical range here. From serene jazz to hardcore that borders on powerviolence. They kill live too. Bart
