(Price) 'Black acts in America
have not learned

:42:07
'that once their record
is off the charts they're finished.'

:42:11
I heard a speech by Jesse Jackson,
saying we must recognise

:42:15
that we're only useful
as long as we're necessary.

:42:19
So they don't realise that your
strength comes from your community.

:42:24
(Price) And you have to deal
from your strength.

:42:26
In dealing from your strength
you got somebody

:42:30
so if somebody
wants to hurt James Brown,

:42:32
somebody gonna raise a voice
and say "why?"

:42:35
You got soldiers,
somebody that's concerned.

:42:39
But as an individual, no matter
how big you get, you still a nigger.

:42:43
You don't care how much money
you get. You are still a nigger.

:42:47
When you become unnecessary.
:42:50
# Listen
:42:52
# Extend your love
:42:56
# Can I get a drum?
:42:59
# Can I get a little taste? #
:43:02
Do unto others as you would have them
to do unto you.

:43:05
Would you ask somebody to lynch you
:43:07
and tell you where to go and how
to look, then refuse to pay you?

:43:12
Would you ask somebody
to take advantage of your woman

:43:15
and you can't even speak to his?
:43:17
Would you like to pay taxes for
something that you never received?

:43:21
Do unto others as you would have
somebody do unto you.

:43:24
And I don't have to use
the word "FM" backwards.

:43:30
(Hollers)
:43:33
We left Africa in shackles,
fetters and chains.

:43:36
We're coming back
in an aura of splendour and glory.

:43:40
The champions are here, champions of
the sports world and the music world,

:43:45
so put 'em together and we got
one champion that's so intermingled

:43:49
that we're fused into one entity.
:43:51
The brother said something there!
Yeah!

:43:55
Don King put this together.
:43:57
It was not a colour put it together,
you understand?
