Keep Your Eyes on the Prize is a folk song that played an important and noteworthy part during the 1950s American Civil Rights Movement. It is based on the traditional song, &amp;quot;Gospel Plow,&amp;quot; conjointly referred to as &amp;quot;Hold On,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Keep Your Hand on the Plow,&amp;quot; and various permutations therefrom.&lt;br /&gt;

== Possible Lyricist ==&lt;br /&gt;
The lyrics of the modern version of Civil Rights song &amp;quot;Keep Your Eyes on the Prize&amp;quot; were repeatedly credited to Alice Wine. She was a member of the Moving Star Hall, a famous musical group on Johns Island, South Carolina. A book titled Ain't You Got the Right to the Tree of Life written by Guy and Candie Carawan documented songs that was performed by Moving Star Hall and the lives of African Americans on Johns Island in the early sixties.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Previous unsubstantiated internet references to &amp;quot;lyrics by Mrs. Alice Wine&amp;quot;:&lt;br /&gt;

== Biblical Reference ==&lt;br /&gt;
The title of the modern song was adapted from Bible verse Philippians 3:17 &amp;quot;keep your eyes on those who live as we do&amp;quot; and verse 14, &amp;quot;I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;Gospel Plow&amp;quot; title is also shown as an adaptation from Luke 9:62: &amp;quot;No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;Paul and Silas&amp;quot; lyrics are clearly taken from Acts 16:19-26:&amp;quot;Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keep_Your_Eyes_on_the_Prize Keep Your Eyes on the Prize].

Gimme Hope Jo'anna is an song written, composed, and performed by Eddy Grant in 1988. The song was originally released as an anti-apartheid anthem during the apartheid era in South Africa. The song was classsified as forbidden song by the South African government when it was released, but was massively played in South Africa nonetheless. It reached 7th position on the UK Singles Chart, marking Grant's first UK top 10 hit for five years.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Andrew Perry.

''Well Jo'anna she runs a country''&lt;br /&gt;

''She runs in Durban and the Transvaal''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''She makes a few of her people happy oh''&lt;br /&gt;

== Interpretation ==&lt;br /&gt;
The word &amp;quot;Jo'anna&amp;quot; that is used in the song title is a reference to Johannesburg, the largest city in South Africa. The lyric &amp;quot;The Archbishop who's a peaceful man&amp;quot; in the 4th verse of the song is a reference to Desmond Tutu, the first black South African Anglican Archbishop of Cape Town who received the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize for his advocation and spreading awareness against apartheid.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimme_Hope_Jo%27anna Gimme Hope Jo’anna].

By the Time I Get to Arizona is a song written and performed by American hip hop group Public Enemy from their 1991 album Apocalypse 91... The Enemy Strikes Black. Public Enemy frontman Chuck D wrote the song during the protest of the state of Arizona, where governor Evan Mecham had canceled Martin Luther King Jr. Day and the people voted against its reintroduction.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/By_the_Time_I_Get_to_Arizona#cite_ref-source_1-0 By the Time I Get to Arizona].

The song was released as a B-side to the single &amp;quot;Shut 'Em Down&amp;quot; in January 1992 with its own music video. The video was stirred up public attention for its portrayal of black paramilitaries murdering Arizona politicians in revenge for King, who was non-violent. Some black activists and King's widow Coretta Scott King neglected the themes that was used for the video. Chuck D and Public Enemy's spokesman Harry Allen defended the video as a fictional revenge for King's assassination.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://thesource.com/2018/04/04/public-enemys-lasting-tribute-to-martin-luther-king/ &amp;quot;Public Enemy's Lasting Tribute To Martin Luther King, Jr&amp;quot;]. 4 April 2018.

== Key Lyrics ==&lt;br /&gt;
''Uh, ever thought about losing it''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''When your money's all gone and you lose your whip''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''You might lose your grip when the landlord tell ya that you're due for rent''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''And the grass so green on the other side''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''Make a nigga wanna run straight through the fence''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''Open up the fridge 'bout twenty times''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''But still can't find no food in it''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''That's foolishness''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''And sometimes I wonder, why we care so much about the way we look''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''And the way we talk and the way we act and the clothes we bought, how much that cost''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''Does it even really matter?''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Cause if life is an uphill battle''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''We all tryna climb with the same ol' ladder''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''In the same boat, with the same ol' paddle''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''Why so shallow? I'm just asking''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''What's the pattern to the madness''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''Everybody ain't a number one draft pick''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''Most of us ain't Hollywood actors''&lt;br /&gt;

== Key Lyrics ==&lt;br /&gt;
''We reach out over race and hold each other's hands''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''Then die in the flames singing &amp;quot;We Shall Overcome&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''What's going on?''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''There'll be some blood no doubt about it''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''But we'll come thru, don't doubt it''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''I look into your eyes and I know you won't kill me''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''I look into your eyes and I know you won't kill me''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''You won't kill me''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''You won't kill me, no''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''But I look into your eyes and I wonder sometimes''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Background ==&lt;br /&gt;
The track was inspired by Bowie's experienced of staying in Los Angeles in April 1992, where he saw the city's race riots in reaction to the Rodney King killing incident. It is the epitome of its parent album's feelings towards conformity and firms, with Benetton and the saccharine charity single &amp;quot;We Are the World&amp;quot; among the targets. Bowie later explain that the track was expressing his anxiousness regarding the black community's own name, and how it didn't need to be adjust and occupied into the white community.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Bowie's Wedding Album&amp;quot; by David Wild, Rolling Stone magazine, 21 January 1993, page 14&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Reception ==&lt;br /&gt;
Released as the album's second single, &amp;quot;Black Tie White Noise&amp;quot; was a top 40 hit in Britain and subsequently reached 36th position in the UK chart and 74th position in Australia.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.officialcharts.com/search/singles/black%20tie%20white%20noise%20ft%20al%20b%20sure/ &amp;quot;Official singles Chart results matching: black tie white noise ft al b sure&amp;quot;].
