Just out of Monday
Run into a friend
Down the street, down the street
Where I live
Ah! Ah! Sad things begin
I could feel from within
From the message
From the message
He had to give
'Bout a buddy of mine
Running out of time
His life's running out of time
Somebody past noon
Shot across the room
And now the man no longer lives
Too bad about him
Too sad about him
Don't get me wrong
The man is gone
But it's a wonder he lived this long
Up in the city they called him Boss Jack
But down home he was a alley cat
Ah! didn't care nothing about being black
Ah! Billy Jack
Can't be no fun
Can't be no fun
To be shot, shot with a hand gun
Body sprawled out, you without a doubt
Running people out, there on the floor
Ah! Ah! Bad bloody bloody mess
Shot all up in his chest
Shot all up in his chest
One sided duel, gun and a fool
What a way to go
Up in the city they called him Boss Jack
But down home he was a alley cat
Ah! Didn't care nothin' bout being Black
Ah, Ah, Billy Jack
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Curtis Lee Mayfield (Chicago, June 3, 1942 – Los Angeles, December 26, 1999) was an American singer, songwriter, and musician. Considered a pillar of soul and African-American music, Mayfield left an indelible mark on musical history thanks to his powerful voice, catchy melodies, and incisive lyrics that addressed social issues such as the civil rights struggle, poverty, and racial oppression. He began his career in the 1960s with The Impressions, a Chicago soul group with whom he achieved successes like «People Get Ready» and «Amen». In 1970, he embarked on a solo career, releasing highly successful albums such as «Super Fly» (1972) and «Curtis» (1978). Mayfield was a pioneer in the use of funk music to convey political and social messages. His influence extends to various musical genres, from hip hop to alternative rock.
