Here's one from the "Black folk have been TELLING us y'all" files. This is the title track of Living Colour's second album "Time's Up", released in 19-freaking-90, sounding the climate alarm at top volume:

Time's up / The rivers have no life
Time's up / The world is full of strife
Time's up / The Sky is falling
Time's up / The Lord is calling

How you gonna stop the clock
When the well runs dry
All the rivers have died
Moment by moment, day by day
The world is just slipping away
Your future won't save your past
The time is now, it won't last
The time is nigh
Time to do or die

Time waits for no one
If you want to go on
Leave me something to grow on
The forests, the trees, the rivers, the seas
All die of this disease

Time ain't on your side
Don't sit idly by
You've got to just try!

"This is a 90s live gig with #VernonReid (Living Colour, Zig Zag Trio), #DennisChambers (#P-Funk, Santana, #SteelyDan), and JP Bourelly (#MilesDavis, Cassandra Wilson) and is an hour of both accessible and experimental jams of original material, as well as some very eccentric covers of The Meters‘ “Cissy Strut” and Sonny Sharrock’s “Dick Dogs”.

RIP TM Stevens.

NOTE: In tribute to #VernonReid and his quest to get recognition for #ErnieIsley and the #IsleyBrothers. Throw in the #JimiHendrix connection and a fine fine cover in these times of trouble. Thinking of the Palestine people and their suffering.
