KUNG FU FOR FIGHTING

Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting Those kicks were fast as lightning In fact, it was a little bit frightening But they fought with expert timing There were funky China men from funky Chinatown They were chopping them up They were chopping them down It's an ancient Chinese art And everybody knew their part From a feint into a slip And a kickin' from the hip Everybody was Kung Fu fighting Those kicks were fast as lightning In fact it was a little bit frightning But they fought with expert timing There was funky Billie Chin and little Sammy Chong He said, here comes the big boss, let's get it on We took the bow and made a stand Started swaying with the hand The sudden motion made me skip Now we're into a brand new trip Everybody was Kung Fu fighting Those kicks were fast as lightning In fact it was a little bit frightning But they did it with expert timing

SEGRAGATION WAGON Come all you sons of freedom, and join our Southern band.

Well find those carpetbaggers, and drive them from our land!Our Justice is our motto! And providence our guide!So jump into the wagonand well all take a ride!

So wait for the wagon, the Segregation Wagon!States rights is the wagon so lets all take a ride.

Segregation is our watchword, States rights we demand!We defend our Southern way of life, we pledge our hearts and hands!Step forward and be counted! Then fall in side by side.Conservatives throughout the land will join us on the ride!

So wait for the wagon, the Segregation Wagon!States rights is the wagon so lets all take a ride.

A sorry looking bunch of trash came marching through the SouthThe only thing theyll understand is when we drive em out!Our way of life we must protect, its up to me and you.So rally round the stars and bars, well see this battle through.

So wait for the wagon, the Segregation Wagon!States rights is the wagon, so lets all take a ride.

Weve always lived the quiet life, and mind our business too.Well permit no agitators to tell us what to do.Lets serve them notice here and now, we must be left alone!Lets pledge our lives and fortunes in protection of our homes!

So wait for the wagon, the Segregation Wagon!States rights is the wagon, so lets all take a ride.

Get aboard and ride this wagon! That Segregation wagon!Were proud of what we believe in! Oh, lets take that ride!Everybody get on this wagon! And ride this frantic wagon! The Segregation Wagon

DON’T GIVE UP

Visions that can change the world trapped inside an ordinary girlShe looks just like me too afraid to dream out loudAnd though it's simple, your idea, it won't make sense to everybodyYou need courage now, if you're gonna persevere

To fulfill divine purpose, you gotta answer when you're calledSo don't be afraid to face the world against all odds

Keep the dream alive, don't let it dieIf something deep inside keeps inspiring you to try, don't stopAnd never give up, don't ever give up on youDon't give up

Every victory comes in time, work today to change tomorrowIt gets easier, who's to say that you can't fly?Every step you take you get closer to your destinationYou can feel it now, don't you know you're almost there?

To fulfill divine purpose, you gotta answer when you're calledSo don't be afraid to face the world against all odds

Keep the dream alive, don't let it dieIf something deep inside keeps inspiring you to try, don't stopAnd never give up, don't ever give up on you

Sometimes life can place a stumbling block in your wayBut you gotta keep the faithBring what's deep inside your heart to the lightAnd never give up, don't ever give up on youDon't give up

Who holds the pieces to complete the puzzle?The answer that can solve a mystery, yeahThe key that can unlock your understandingIt's all inside of you, you have everything you need, yeah

So, keep the dream alive, don't let it dieIf something deep inside, keeps inspiring you to try, don't stopAnd never give up, don't ever give up on you

Sometimes life can place a stumbling block in your wayBut you gotta keep the faithBring what's deep inside your heart, yeah your heart to the lightAnd never give up, don't ever give up on you(Gve up)

EXPLANATIONTHE LOGAN FAMILY DID NOT GIVE UP ON THERE LAND AND THE SONG IS ABOUT NEVER GIVING UP

SYMBOLWALLACE STOREITS WHERE WHITE PEOPLE GOT DRUNCK AND FAUGHT AND WHERE THE LOGAN KIDS WERE NO ALLOWED TO GO

WHAT ARE WE FIGHTING FOR

Said I'd moved on and I'd leave it aloneBut before I walk out there is somethingThat I need you to know

I got lost in a blink of an eyeAnd I can never get backNo, I never got back

You were not there when I wanted to sayThat you were everything rightAnd it wasn't you but me to change

Now I got to go it aloneBut I'll never give upNo, I'll never give up

What am I fighting for?There must me something moreFor all these words I singDo you feel anything?

Said I'm okay but I know how to lieYou were all that I hadYou were delicate and hard to find

Got lost in the back of my mindAnd I can never get backNo, I never got back

You were not there when I needed to sayI hit the bottom so fastThat my head was spinning 'round for days

SYMBOLTHE WAGONTHE WAGON SHOWED THAT THEY WERE POOR

COMES FROM BEING POOR

I still get a cheer in my eyeWhen someone in need passes byI still lean to the right like beforeI guess that comes from being poor

I guess that comes from being poorA welcome [unverified] is always at my doorBut I give all I can and I give moreI guess that comes from being poor

Easy come, easy go, get some scaredI'm proud of what I have and I take careYou don't forget what you've learned from a boardI guess that comes from being poor

I guess that comes from being poorA welcome is always at my doorBut I give all I can and I give moreI guess that comes from being poor

My God means everything to meMy favorite song is "country tears in beer"I'm still [unverified] with my knees on the floorI guess that comes from being poor

I guess that comes from being poorA welcome is always at my doorBut I give all I can and I give moreI guess that comes from being poor

EXPLANATIONIN THE STORY THE WAGON WAS A SYMBOL THAT THEY ARE POOR AND IN THE SONG THE MAN SAYS THAT YOU DON’T HAVE TO HAVE EVERYHING TO EVEN IF YOU ARE POOR

SYMBOLBUSONLY WHITE KIDS COULD RIDE IT AND NOT BLACK KIDS

IS IT JUST CUZ I AM BLACK

The dark brown shades of my skin only add color to my tears.That splash against my hollow bones, that rocks my soul.Looking back over my false dreams that I once knew.Wondering why my dreams never came true.

Chorus:Is it because I'm black?Somebody tell me what can I do..Something is holding me back, is it because I'm black?(repeat)

In this world of no pity I was raised in the ghetto of the cityMomma she worked so hard to earn every penny..Oh lord

Something is holding me backCause..Is it because I'm black(repeat)2nd verse:

Like a child steeling his first piece of candy.That cost..Even in my corner somewhere I got lost

Something is holding me back..I wonder..Is it because I'm black?Somebody tell me what I can do.
