I feel like (Gettin' away)
Ever feel like (Gettin' away)
They keep a-working me (Every day)
(Time keeps movin' on)
I picture myself (Gettin' away)
Sneakin', gettin' away (Gettin' away)
I keep thinkin' 'bout it (Every day)
(Time keeps movin' on)
Never give up (Gettin' away)
It's a cold world (Never give up, gettin' away)
I can't make this shit up (Every day)
(Time keeps movin' on, oh)
Listen, please hear my story
My life was stolen
By the bad man
This is not the place for me
My life was stolen
From my homeland
I feel like (Gеttin' away)
All I ever feel like (Gеttin' away)
I think I think about it every day
(Time keeps makin' me old)
I like to picture myself (Runnin' away)
Getting away (Gettin' away)
They keep breaking me, breaking me every day
(Time is makin' me old)
Never give up (Gettin' away)
It's a cold world (Never give up, gettin' away)
I can't make this shit up (Every day)
(Time is makin' me old)
Listen, please hear my story
My life was stolen
By the bad man
This is not the place for me
My life was stolen
From my homeland
Listen to the winds of change
Blowing on your shoulder
The chief of the village sold your family and friends
Listen to the winds of change
Growing, getting louder
The miracle's about to begin
I picture myself (Gettin' away)
Sneakin', gettin' away (Gettin' away)
I keep thinkin' 'bout it (Every day)
(Time keeps movin' on)
Never give up (Gettin' away)
It's a cold world (Never give up, gettin' away)
I can't make this shit up (Every day)
This is not the place for me
My life was stolen
From my homeland
Ever feel like (Gettin' away)

In realtà "White Jesus Black Problems" andrebbe contribuito per intero sulla CCG/AWS...
Xavier Dphrepaulezz, in arte Fantastic Negrito, ha scritto un concept album dove la descrizione della realtà attuale si incrocia con la storia di una sua antenata, una serva di origine scozzese di nome Elizabeth Gallimore che nella Virginia di metà '700 si innamora e convive con uno schiavo negro, il cui nome è rimasto sconosciuto (Fantastic Negrito lo battezza pertanto Grandfather Courage). Per questo la coppia venne perseguita dalla giustizia, che non ammetteva i matrimoni misti... Non si sa cosa abbiano passato, ma ebbero comunque una discendenza, fino allo Xavier dall'impronunciabile cognome.
Fantastic Negrito ha dedicato alla storia anche un video di 40' ed una versione acustica dell'album dedicata proprio al suo sconosciuto avo, "Grandfather Courage".
Cercherò nei prossimi giorni di selezionare le canzoni migliori e più inerenti alle CCG/AWS.
Grandissimo artista, bellissima storia e bellissima musica.

In Virginia, back in 1759, a white Scottish servant Elizabeth Gallimore, fell in love with a black slave whose name had been lost over time. Their great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson, Xavier Amin Dphrepaulezz, who performs under the pseudonym Fantastic Negrito, has released the compelling concept album White Jesus Black Problems based on his recently discovered lineage. The ambitious multi-media project includes a companion film.
The Album track “Man with No Name” is a painful reminder that often the identity and experiences of the oppressed are often erased. With the song and album, the stories of the courageous forgotten are being reclaimed. The tune also contains a galvanizing message of hope with the line “I keep moving on.” It is a potent statement of perseverance that continues to resonate.
