B.B. King ~ Five Long Years


If you ever been mistreated, then you know just what i'm talking about. If you ever been mistreated people, you know just what i'm talking about. I tell you i worked, i worked five long years for a woman, And she had the nerve to put me out. You know i got a job in a steel mill, trucking steel like a slave. Five long years, every friday i went straight home with all of my pay. If you ever been mistreated people then you know just what i'm talking about. I tell you i worked, i worked five long years for a woman, And she had the nerve to put me out. But you know, i finally learned a lesson, a long, long time ago. The next woman that i marry, she gotta work and bring in the dough. If you been mistreated people then you know just what i'm talking about. I tell you i worked, i worked five long years for a woman, She had the nerve, she had the nerve to put me out. more free lyrics

If you ever been mistreated, then you know just what i'm talking about.
If you ever been mistreated people, you know just what i'm talking about.
I tell you i worked, i worked five long years for a woman,
And she had the nerve to put me out.

You know i got a job in a steel mill, trucking steel like a slave.
Five long years, every friday i went straight home with all of my pay.
If you ever been mistreated people then you know just what i'm talking about.
I tell you i worked, i worked five long years for a woman,
And she had the nerve to put me out.

But you know, i finally learned a lesson, a long, long time ago.
The next woman that i marry, she gotta work and bring in the dough.
If you been mistreated people then you know just what i'm talking about.
I tell you i worked, i worked five long years for a woman,
She had the nerve, she had the nerve to put me out.

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
