'Race?, in the space I mark Human'- surley Princes greatest line.. just now in the U.K. there's currently an endless debate about divison of people ,demonising of Muslims etc and this line just keeps popping in my head. It's lines like this that really make P stand out from the rest and we may all bitch and moan about his poor choices of singles, marketing, VEGAS! etc but DAYUM when all said and done he has no equal. P thankyou for being relevant to my life after nearly 23 years of following your career. | |

Thanks for the clear-up... a great song made betta. Here are the Lyrics Lie down, fair 1, and come away Till the rain is over and gone G-G-Gimme the beat now (Face the music) Lead line (Face the music) If the air is a little thick in this room 2nite I reckon it's the result of an onslaught of separatist rookies Overcome by this colorful sight Talkin' so fast that even they Talkin' so fast that even they Don't know what they mean Of all the things that base a rhyme How is it that U everytime Regurgitate the racist lines that keep us apart? Thank God this ain't Monopoly U'd make us all go back 2 start Race In the space I mark human (Face the music) Race Face the music We all bones when we dead Race In the space I mark human (Face the music) Cut me, cut U Both the blood is red I gotcha Race Race Check it Three seats over there's a lady black Entrusted 2 her care is a little white girl And the fact of the matter is Before her momma or another kid at school Tells her about the fallacy that 1 race rules over the other She'd be a much-better-off-left fool (Face the music) If we never heard about the evils that those before us committed Then how my dear, tell me now how my dear, tell me now how now would we know And then the band say Race In the space I mark human (Face the music) Race Face the music We all bones when we dead Race In the space I mark human (Face the music) Cut me, cut U Both the blood is red I gotcha Race Race (Face the music) D-d-down with H-I-S-T-O-R-Y and all this BS propagandi Keepin U from me and me from U as we grow I don't wanna know (I don't wanna know) Why those before us hated each other I'd rather believe they never did I'd rather believe (I'd rather, I'd rather believe) That there's hope 4 a kid And if he imitates the best I guess that's what I'll try 2 be And I will let the rest dissolve with my guitar underneath the sea Race (Face Face Face Face Face) Face the music (Face the music) Face the music Race In the space I mark human (Face the music) Race Face the music We all bones when we dead Race In the space I mark human (Face the music) Cut me, cut U Both the blood is red Get it? Race Got it Race Face the music Race Race (Face Face Face the music) Race Race (Face Face Face the music) Race Race Race Race (Face-F-Face the music) Race ©1994 Controversy Music - ASCAP | |

Yes, it's a nice thought and all, however, as lyrics go,a 13 year old could have come up with that line.. "What kind of fuck ending is that?" | |

I always loved that line but it did get me in2 a bit of trouble. Years back when I first joined the Air Force I would put down Human in the space that would always ask 4 my Race...I got away with it a couple of times but eventually someone caught it and I got "counseled." I thought that I gave an impassioned speech as to why I refused to give my race...So 4 now on it just says that I refused to answer...I love doing little things like that to tick off Big Brother~ | |

when i was in the ARMY I put "Lovesexy" for my religion on my 'dog tags.' i had them for a while then some idiot Sergent saw them and told me i could not have that. i stood my ground until i was told by our first Sergent, 'if i have to take this to the CO, it's gonna be an Article 15" | |

"And if every life has got a reason
U can be mine" (Come On) Did u get the tape I sent u I thought it be better in a song Better than the used condom u sent me (One Of Your Tears) "That skinny motherfucker with the high voice?" (Bob George) And when you've cried enough Maybe she'll let you up For a nasty ride in her shockadeli-car (Shockadelica) This is your captain with no name speakin' (Pussy Control) It's silly, no? When a rocket ship explodes And everybody still wants 2 fly (SOTT) There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently | |

LOL I used to do that even before I heard this song. On all those standardized tests and stuff I used to always just write "human" if there wasn't a "check all the apply option" under race/ethnicity. | |
