I’m tired of working for nothing, being treated like a slob
I’m tired of having to be a maid, and now I want a real, real job
I’m tired of my man giving up his best years and
And still he doesn’t have nothing, I’d rather drown in my own tears
I’m tired, I’m tired, I’m tired, I’m tired
According to faith, things better change before it’s too late
I’m tired of my father being depressed, coming home and raising sin
I’m tired of my mother sitting home dipping snuff
Telling us about the bull of men
You know I, I’ve heard that song so much, even when I dance
Are you gonna soul, I can, I may not get another chance
I’m tired, I’m tired, I’m so tired, I’m so tired
But you know, according to think, things better change right before it’s, before it’s too late
Oh, we can’t history repeat itself
We can’t let it take us back 100 years
As long as I can remember, we’ve always, always been in the arena, mmm
You can’t judge a man by the color of his skin
It’s what he knows and who he know
And where he’s going and where he’s been
As long as a person can reduce the odds
You’ve gotta give him the credit for his smarts
A soul man, a soul man took him, took his life
Dr. King, he died for us
If I can remember 10 years ago
He was riding, he was riding in the rear of the bus
You know I"m so tired, I can’t take no more y’all
Oh, you know I’m so weary and scorned, mmm-hmm
I’m tired, I’m so tired, I’m tired, so tired
Oh, I’m tired...

Time Is Running Out Fast. James Brown - The payback (73)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oklr8eOwsVI
The Payback est le 37ème album studio de James Brown. L’album est sorti en décembre 1973, chez Polydor Records. Il devait à l’origine devenir la bande originale du film de blaxploitation Hell Up in Harlem , mais il a été rejeté par les producteurs du film, qui l’ont considéré comme « la même vieille histoire de James Brown ». Il a été numéro 1 du classement des albums de soul pendant deux semaines et s’est retrouvé dans le Top 40 des albums de pop. C’était le seul album studio de Brown à être certifié or.
Time Is Running Out Fast sixième morceau de l’album que je viens de me procurer chez OCD pour 8 balles et c’est celui que je préfère. Cela dit, cet opus du godfather est tellement bon qu’il est difficile de dissocier les morceaux. c’est le plus long : 12’37 sur les huit qui compose The payback qui s’étire sur près de 70 minutes.
Le vendeur d’OCD le classe dans le top 10, voire 5 du Godfather of Soul. Moi je le classe number one, facile c’est le seul que je possède de James Brown. Celui-ci aussi Life On Planet Groove Maceo Parker (92) mais sans Mr Dynamite.
