grandmaster flash - jesse lyrics

he’s coming, he’s coming, he’s coming
he’s coming, he’s coming, he’s coming
he’s coming, he’s coming, he’s coming
he’s here
his name is jesse
his name is jesse
hypocrites and uncle toms are talking trash (let’s talk
about jesse)
liberty and justice are a thing of the past (let’s talk
about jesse)
they want a stronger nation at any cost (let’s talk
about jesse)
even if it means that everything will soon be lost
(let’s talk about jesse)
he started on the bottom, now he’s on the top
he proved that he could make it, so don’t ever stop
brothers stand together and let the whole world see
our brother jesse jackson go down in history
so vote, vote, vote, everybody get up and vote
vote, vote, everybody get up and vote
vote, vote, everybody get up and vote
vote, vote, everybody get up and vote
see ronald reagan speaking on tv, smiling like
everything’s fine and dandy
sounded real good when he tried to give a pep talk to
over 30 million poor people like me
how can we say we got to stick it out when his belly is
full and his future is sunny?
i don’t need his jive advice but i sure do need his
jive time money
the dream is a nightmare in disguise (let’s talk about
jesse)
red tape and lies fill your for sp-cious skies (let’s
talk about jesse)
but don’t think that dc just did it first (let’s talk
about jesse)
there’s a lot of dc’s all over this universe (his name
is jesse)
he started on the bottom, now he’s on the top
he proved that he could make it, so don’t ever stop
brothers stand together and let the whole world see
our brother jesse jackson go down in history
so vote, vote, vote, everybody get up and vote
vote, vote, everybody get up and vote
vote, vote, everybody get up and vote
vote, vote, everybody get up and vote
the land of the free and the home of the brave but it
might as well be the home of the slave
they got me walking around, saying freedom’s come but
my body is free and my mind is dumb
the people ain’t black but the house is white and just
because i’m different they don’t treat me right
they done cast me aside and held me down, dragged my
name down to the ground
oh beautiful for sp-cious skies with your amber waves
of untold lies
look at all the politicians trying to do a job but they
can’t help but look like the mob
get a big kick back and put it away, watch the fbi
watch the cia
they want a bigger missile with a faster yet but yet
they forget to hire you the vet
hypocrites, just talkin’ trash (let’s talk about jesse)
liberty and justice are a thing of the past (let’s talk
about jesse)
they want a stronger nation at any cost (let’s talk
about jesse)
even if it means that everything will soon be lost (his
name is jesse)
breakdown
vote, vote, everybody get up and vote
vote, vote, everybody get up and vote
vote, vote, everybody get up and vote
vote, vote, everybody get up and vote
the 30th day that’s in december is a day that
everyone’s gonna remember
because on that day a righteous man, thought about
taking a brand new stand
the name of the man is jesse jackson and his call is
for peace without an action
’cause now is the time to change the nation without
just another negotiation
he went to the east for human rights to free a
lieutenant shot down in flight
just another statistic and the government knew it, they
didn’t even want the man to go do it
before he left, he called the president’s home and
reagan didn’t even answer the phone
but i tell you one thing and that’s a natural fact, you
can bet he calls jesse when jesse got back

he started on the bottom, now he’s on the top
he proved that he could make it, so don’t ever stop
brothers stand together and let the whole world see
our brother jesse jackson go down in history
so vote
hypocrites just talking trash (let’s talk about jesse)
liberty and justice are a thing of the past (let’s talk
about jesse)
