[Gregory Porter - 1960 What? lyrics]
1960 What? 1960 Who?
1960 What? 1960 Who?
19, hey, the Motor City is burning
That ain't right
1960 What? 1960 Who?
1960 What? 1960 Who?
19, hey, the Motor City is burning, ya'll
That ain't right
There was a man, voice of the people
Standing on the balcony, of the Loraine Motel
Shots rang out, yes, it was a gun
He was the only one, to fall down, ya'll
That ain't right, then his people screamed
Ain't no need for sunlight! (Ain't no need for sunlight)
Ain't no need for moon light! (Ain't no need for moon light)
Ain't no need for street light (Ain't no need for street light)
It's burning really bright (Real bright)
Some folks say we gonna fight (Gonna fight)
Cos' this here thing just ain't right (Ain't right)
1960 What? 1960 Who?
1960 What? 1960 Who?
19, hey, the Motor City is burning, ya'll
Whoooooo
Motor city is burning, ya'll
Great god of mine, the Motor City's burning!
Whoooooo, it's burning
Young man, coming out of a liquor store
With three pieces of black liquorice, in his hand, ya'll
Mister police man thought it was a gun, thought he was the one
Shot him down, ya'll, that ain't right
Then his momma screamed!
Ain't no need for sunlight! (Ain't no need for sunlight)
Ain't no need for moon light! (Ain't no need for moon light)
Ain't no need for street light (Ain't no need for street light)
Cos' it's burning really bright (Real bright)
Some folks say we gonna fight (Gonna fight)
Cos' this here thing just ain't right (Ain't right)
1960 What? 1960 Who?
1960 What? 1960 Who?
19, hey, the Motor City is burning
Great god of mine is, great god of mine is burning
Hey, put out the fire, brothers, it's burning
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Yeah, 1960 What? 1960 Who?
