- "Ain't No New Thing"
- Gil Scott-Heron
- We used to white people tryin' to rob us
Why don't they try stealing some of this power
It ain't no new thing … anything they don't understand
They try to destroy
We used to having black innovators
copied and sent back to us
We used to having people try to rob us,
it ain't no new thing
