	Story Behind the Song The draft that you’re listening to came to me last night. I’ve had the older version with me for several months. It’s about the damage that faith in the media and its false images can do to people of color. It’s a call to answer…Before it is too late. It took two takes, and a few minutes to record. (It is, after all, me...unaccompanied.) Lyrics (Where) did we come from, Kings, or this bad dream? Only wish it wasn’t Real as it seems See sisters and brothers Makin’ their green Playing punks and whores Meanwhile I’ll be out back Studying alchemy Trying to settle the score Say you don’t want this job But it comes with our skin And all it pays is money. That’s why I’ve been thinking’ Tell me who I need to drill Is it the doctors, Or the ones who sell the pills? Change comes Son, open your eyes Tomorrow’s when You realize— That today was The time for truth Now left standing Mid the torture of our youth.
