lyrics
9. Staples Jr. Singers - We Got a Race to Run
I’m telling you people anywhere
We got a race
We got a race to run
Hey, hey people
(We got a race to run)
You messed with your sister
(We got a race to run)
You messed with your brother
(We got a race to run)
Hey, hey people
(We got a race to run)
They tell me old man died a poor man
The rich man thought he had all he need
But after old man had to died
They told me no one paid attention to lies about it
But the tell me God give, god sent an angel to get lies about it
But so the rich man died too
They tell me how it made him feel foolish
After the rich man died and went to hell
They tell me the rich man said
Father Abraham, son lied to my brothers
And tell my brothers
Those cards that they play
Hey, hey people
(We got a race to run)
You messed with your sister
(We got a race to run)
You messed with your brother
(We got a race to run)
Seven cars to drive, all them fine clothes
Nice home to live in
You think you have all you need
Hey, hey people
(We got a race to run)
Hey, hey people
(We got a race to run)
I’m telling you people anywhere
We got a race
We got a race to run
Hey, hey people
(We got a race to run)
You messed with your sister
(We got a race to run)
You messed with your brother
(We got a race to run)
Hey, hey people
(We got a race to run)
They tell me old man died a poor man
The rich man thought he had all he need
But after old man had to died
They told me no one paid attention to lies about it
But the tell me God give, god sent an angel to get lies about it
But so the rich man died too
They tell me how it made him feel foolish
After the rich man died and went to hell
They tell me the rich man said
Father Abraham, son lied to my brothers
And tell my brothers
Those cards that they play
Hey, hey people
(We got a race to run)
You messed with your sister
(We got a race to run)
You messed with your brother
(We got a race to run)
Seven cars to drive, all them fine clothes
Nice home to live in
You think you have all you need
Hey, hey people
(We got a race to run)
Hey, hey people
(We got a race to run)

Promises

Magic in its purest form. I love Floating Points, I love Pharoah Sanders, I love The London Symphony Orchestra. It's a match made in heaven, and the result is absolutely gorgeous. I have loved this record since its release, and realized I don't own it for some reason. So its time to change that. 9.5/10 honestly could become a 10/10 on an indepth vinyl relisten.

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last!
