Act Won (Things Fall Apart) The Roots

And you are all

[Bleek Gilliam]
But we don't even come to see our own, man (Take it from us)
Listen, Freddy, listen, listen
You know if we had to dep'— if we had to depend upon Black people to eat, we would starve to death
I mean, you've been out there, you're on the bandstand, you look out into the audience, what do you see?
You see Japanese, you see, you see West German
You see, you know, Slobbovic, anything, but, except our people, man, it makes no sense
It incenses me that our own people don't realize our own heritage, our own culture, this is our music

[Shadow Henderson]
That's bullshit

[Bleek Gilliam]
Why?

[Shadow Henderson]
That's all bullshit
Everything, everything you just said is bullshit
You complaining about
I'm talking about the audience
That's right
The people don't come because you grandiose motherfuckers don't play shit that they like
If you played the shit that they liked, then the people would come
Simple as that
