this life is not for me and it hurts to see
but i can’t turn and walk away
to let hate just be, it’s you or me
not gonna let you have a say
i’m fed up
with my surroundings, i just can’t seem to get away
i’m fed up
with those around me, same old shit a different day
i walk these streets, they’re filled with hate
they talk to me but i just can’t relate
it’s hard to hide what i feel inside, so i just stay locked away
i’m fed up
with my surroundings, i just can’t seem to get away
i’m fed up
with those around me, same old shit a different day
so get the fuck out of my face now
with your ignorance claiming it’s all you know is such a weak defense and i can’t stand
the way you think close minded fucks you’re all the same
and i can’t stand the way you act
refusing the truth accepting fiction for fact
this world it don’t owe you shit
from me to you fuck you
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
