Curtis Mayfield
Mighty-Mighty Spade & Whitey
[Verse 1]
Everybody's talkin'
About this country's state
We're given new power every hour
Just about with every Christian faith
We're killing off our leaders
It don't matter none Black or white
And we all know it's wrong
And we're gonna fight to make it right
[Chorus]
Mighty mighty, spade or whitey
Your Black and white power
Is gonna be a crumblin' tower
And we who stand divided
Sort of undecided
Give this some thought
In stupidness we've all been caught
[Verse 2]
It really made no difference
If you'rе cut you're gonna bleed
Might I dig a little deeper
Human lifе come from the semen seed
Now I'm gonna say it louder
I'm just as proud as the brothers, too
Just like the rest, I don't want no mess
About who's takin' who
[Chorus]
And mighty mighty, spade or whitey
Your Black and white power
Is gonna be a crumblin' tower
And we who stand divided
Sort of undecided
Give this some thought
In stupidness we've all been caught
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Mighty mighty, spade or whitey
Your Black and white power
Is gonna be a crumblin' tower
And we who stand divided
Sort of undecided
Give this some thought
In stupidness we've all been caught
[Outro]
Give this some thought
In stupidness we've all been caught
Give this some thought
In stupidness we've all been caught
Spade or whitey
