Many moons ago .... We were told the streets were paved with gold So our people came by air and sea To earn a money they could keep Then fly back home Sadly this never came to be When we learned we had just been invited To clean up after the war Back in '49 never intended to stay here Who could afford to leave these shores UK Blak, ending the silence now UK Blak, letting you know that we're about Born and raised this way Is a different thing, bi-culturally Fresh direction, new ideas Opening our eyes and ears Allowing us to save our day No more frustration Pushed back in isolation Positive creativity Finding ourselves Aching to be set free UK Blak, ending the silence now UK Blak, letting you know that we're about UK Blak, ending the silence now UK Blak, letting you know that we're about In society you can find me If you stop living life so blindly Daddy says we'll never change things But I have faith in the African abroad, yes UK Blak, ending the silence now UK Blak, letting you know that we're about UK Blak, ending the silence now UK Blak, letting you know that we're about UK Blak, ending the silence now UK Blak, letting you know that we're about UK Blak, ending the silence now UK Blak, letting you know that we're about

If you look in the audience they clearly wasn't listening to the lyrics, the history lesson went over their heads

They partying.

Yes! The depth of this song while using rhythm and dance to spread TRUTH is an ancient practice, yet flies over the heads of the most shallow, and clearly the host and the audience appear quite shallow. I listen to this BRILLIANCE as one of the extremely THIRSTY, DEMANDING an END to the bitter LIES used as propaganda and ENTRAPMENT by European Colonizers. LIES and DECEPTION has been used for thousands of years to MAINTAIN the PROFITS from TRADING and TERRORIZING Africans into submission as SLAVES, despite being FORCED to legally END the African Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade by those with such a small modicum of morality who already figured out ANOTHER angle to entrap Africans into a SLAVE LABOR supply stream that has been manipulated to appear voluntary! This is a LIBERATION song for UK Blak!
