“Freedom of Expression”
6 Lyrics b/ Corey Glover (Shade)
“F.O.X.” is a hard-driving rock tune featuring vocalist Corey Glover’s pointed political commentary, and media critique.
[“the news you use has been falsified
to use my fear against me and decide.”]
• LIVING COLOUR / BACK TO COVER
shade
To introduce “Program,” a critique of reality TV on its sixth studio album Shade, Living Colour samples a Scarface (Gheto Boys) interview, in which the rapper, after frustratingly and unsuccessfully searching his memory, asks “Who is that fucking band?” and after the interviewer answers “Living Colour.”
Scarface then asks rhetorically, “FIND ME ANOTHER BLACK ROCK BAND, SERIOUSLY.”
The undeniable implication, as far as Scarface is concerned, is that there are none.
Vernon, co-founder of the Black Rock Coalition, might disagree.
• SCARFACE IDENTIFIES LIVING COLOUR AS THE ONE AND ONLY BLACK ROCK BAND.
“Who’s That?” / “Who Shot Ya?”
August 2, 2017 — Living Colour played a set at the Funky Buddha (craft brewery) in Fort Lauderdale, Florida to announce the (Sept.9) release of its new album SHADE, the band’s first since 2009’s Chair In The Doorway.
Living Colour’s sixth studio album is not only a display of musical excellence, but also proof that the band is every bit as relevant today as it was in 1988 when it debuted Vivid.

“Freedom of Expression”
— Lyrics b/ Corey Glover
F.O.X.
I see what’s happening I got nothing to hide
You can’t shut me up treat (me) like a child
Won’t sit back and just abide
Gonna let you know just what going on my mind
This time I won’t be denied
You gotta do what you want
You gotta say what (you) feel
You gotta be who you are
No apologies
The news you use has been falsified
To use my fear against me and decide
Won’t let you choose for me pick a side
No left no right no middle no divide
No black or white
Just wrong or right
You gotta do what you want
You gotta say what feel
You gotta be who you are
No apologies
( MALCOLM X )
No left no rights no middle no divide
