changes tupac lyrics Come on, come on I see no changes, wake up in the morning, and I ask myself Is life worth living, should I blast myself? I'm tired of bein' poor, and even worse I'm black My stomach hurts, so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch Cops give a damn about a negro Pull the trigger, kill a nigga, he's a hero Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares One less hungry mouth on the welfare First, ship 'em dope and let 'em deal the brothers Give 'em guns, step back, watch 'em kill each other It's time to fight back, that's what Huey said Two shots in the dark, now Huey's dead I got love for my brother, but we can never go nowhere Unless we share with each other We gotta start makin' changes Learn to see me as a brother instead of two distant strangers And that's how it's supposed to be How can the devil take a brother, if he's close to me?

Seeking Justice for George Floyd The death of George Floyd during an arrest in Minneapolis on 25 May 2020 sparked last summer’s wave of Black Lives Matter protests. The trial of the police officer who knelt on Floyd’s neck opened on 29 March in Minnesota. Police were called after George Floyd bought a packet of cigarettes in a convenience story. The shop assistant believed the $20 note Floyd used to pay was counterfeit, and asked him to return the cigarettes. When Floyd refused, the police were called. Four officers struggled to get the 1m90 suspect into a police car. Black Lives Matter Honoured The Black Lives Matter movement has been awarded Sweden’s Olof Palme civil-rights prize, and has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. The Olof Palme Prize was created in memory of the Swedish Prime minister and human-rights advocate who was assassinated in 1986. Its jury noted that although Black Lives Matter was founded in 2013, it “had its great national and international breakthrough in the summer of 2020, in connection with a number of cases of extreme brutality.” The protests after the death of George Floyd and the acquittal of the police officers who shot Breonna Taylor in particular, spread around the world, with millions joining protests.

His Life Mattered Widespread protests have again broken out in the U.S.A. after the death of an African-American man in police custody.

The officer, Derek Chauvin, has been charged with third-degree murder and three other officers dismissed.

Kneeling for His Rights NFL American football star Colin Kaepernick brought attention to Black Lives Matter's protests about police brutality towards African Americans with his silent protests, kneeling instead of standing when "The Star-Spangled Banner" played before NFL games. Two years on, Kaepernick has been frozen out of the football league but has won two major human-rights awards for his actions, and is now fronting a new Nike advert. Kaepernick started his protests at the beginning of the 2016-17 National Football League season. There had been a series of incidents in which African American men had died when stopped by the police, highlighted by Black Lives Matter and leading to mass demonstrations. American football is the most popular sport in the country and many players are African American. Matches start with the national anthem.

Jah Lyrics: Steel Pulse - Ku Klux Klan (Re-Recording) Lyrics Walking along just kicking stones, Minding my own business. I come, face to face, with my foe, Disguised in violence from head to toe. I holla and I bawl, (Ku Klux Klan) But dem naw let me go, now. (The Ku Klux Klan) To let me go was not dem intention.

Say It Loud: How Music Changes Society Songs are such powerful things: they can reassure, soothe, inspire and educate us – and that’s just for starters. Perhaps one reason for this is because they are performed by real people, human failings and all, which is why reading lyrics on paper will never quite add up. Songs have always held a mirror to the world, reflecting the things going on around us, and, arguably, music changes society like no other artform. Traditionally, songs were passed down through the generations by being sung, like oral histories. Come the 20th century, however, technological advances quickly made the world a much smaller place and, thanks to cheap, widely-available audio equipment, songs could suddenly be distributed on a much larger scale.

Lovecraft Country: "Whitey on the Moon" Lyrics and Meaning Episode two of HBO's Lovecraft Country features Gil Scott-Heron's "Whitey on the Moon" — in fact, the episode itself is titled "Whitey's on the Moon." While Lovecraft Country takes place in the '50s, Scott-Heron's spoken word poem (and jazz song) first came out in 1970, right after the moon landing. Given that the series is a blend of sci-fi monsters and the horrors of Jim Crow segregation, the song choice certainly still makes sense.
