(On The Tribute to Curtis Mayfield)
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
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, oh oh oh
Ah! Ah! Bad bloody bloody mess
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!
Lenny Kravitz (nato Leonard Albert Kravitz il 26 maggio 1964) è un musicista, cantautore, produttore discografico e attore statunitense di fama internazionale. Figlio del celebre regista televisivo Sy Kravitz e della modella e attrice Roxie Roker, Lenny ha ereditato la passione per l'arte da entrambi i genitori. Cresciuto a Los Angeles, si avvicina alla musica fin da giovane, influenzato da generi diversi come il rock, il funk, il soul e il blues. Nel 1989 pubblica il suo album di debutto omonimo, che lo consacra come artista emergente. Da allora ha pubblicato una serie di album di successo, tra cui "Let Love Rule" (1992), "Are You Gonna Go My Way" (1993) e "Circus" (1995). Kravitz è noto per il suo stile musicale eclettico, che fonde elementi di diversi generi musicali, e per la sua presenza scenica magnetica. Oltre alla musica, Lenny Kravitz ha recitato in film come "The Hunger Games", "Precious" e "Fahrenheit 451". È considerato uno degli artisti più influenti del panorama musicale contemporaneo.
