James Baldwin
We Don’t Care
('Oh Brother Where Art Thou')
[George Clooney & John Turturro]
"You stole from my kin!"
"….who was fixing to betray us?"
"You didn’t know that at the time!"
"So I borrowed it til I did know."
"That don’t make no sense!"

"It’s a fool who looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart"

We don’t
Care bout
What people say

Cause I’m on
My grind and
Im on my way

Let me tell you how it goes my friend
I know it feels like the tough times won’t end
I know you did enough, the little stuff
But I’ve seen enough
To know
For a seed to grow
Its gon take some soil
It’s gon take some cloudy days
And take some rain
You’ve seen how it goes for others
But trust
It’s not gon take the same

For you
It’s gonna be some bumps in the road

You know how it goes;

Life puts you in the drivers seat on a slippery slope
With a bucket of hope
And a helmet of love

& if your cards are in luck

You got a set of parents to trust
A family to love

Set you some goals, go get em done
Do the uncomfortable stuff
& Remember
When you get close to the sun
The devil will come


(NJB)
We don’t
Care bouT
What people say

Cause I’m on
My grind and
Im on my way


(Natedady)
If you got a passion give it time and you’ve got a plan
You’ll find honest eyes in the face of a lying man
You’ll find a 60 dozen crabs in a barrel, chasing a hundred grand
Would you listen to the words of the whispers of a dying man?
A dying land. An ocean of hope drying up into the driest sand
It’s gon take way more than a single hand, im asking all my people here
To take a stand

Open up your lungs sing a song with a simple stanza

It goes like this

We don’t care bout
What people say…
Cause I’m in my grind…
And I’m on my way…
