Sade - Kiss Of Life

“There wasn’t no ‘great depression’, we was already poor. We ain’t have shit already. We didn’t really even notice things had changed. My daddy already wasn’t gettin hired. My mama was cleaning houses, so when they fired her, we just thought it was because she was Indian. We didn’t notice. We was used to the struggle. So, when white people was panicking about the depression, ‘oh, we poor’, ‘oh, we hungry’! Shit, so was we! They only called it a ‘great depression’ because a great number of white people was poor and hungry. But, we’d been hungry, tired, poor, outcast, unloved, unwanted, all that shit. We ain’t have no ‘depression’. We was already depressed.”
