Jimi Hendrix – If 6 Was 9 lyrics
Yeah)
(Sing a song, brother)
If the sun refused to shine,
I don't mind, I don't mind.
(Yeah)
If the mountains fell in the sea,
Let it be, it ain't me.
Got my own world to live through
And I ain't gonna copy you.

Now, if 6 turned up to be 9,
I don't mind, I don't mind.
If all the hippies cut off all their hair,
I don't care, I don't care.
Dig, cause I got my own world to live through
And I ain't gonna copy you.
they aren't allowing this song anywhere anymore. The correct lyric is White-collar conservatives flashing down the street
Pointing their plastic finger at me.
Pretty soon their kind will drop and die,
But I'm gonna wave my freak flag high. .. High!

Hah, hah
Fall mountains, just don't fall on me
Go on mister Businessman,
You can't dress like me.
Nobody know what I'm talking about
I've got my own life to live
I'm the one that's gotta die
When it's time for me to die
So let me live my life the way... I want to.

Yeah. ..
Sing on brother,
Play on brother. ..

    If 6 was 9, to me, even before the Black Lives Revolution of 2020, is clear to me. Jimmy has no choice but to see the world through the lens of the oppressed African American Male. What he is saying to me is that hell would have to freeze over before he would assimilate into the disingenuous (plastic), immoral, white, male dominated fascist (white supremacist) society at the time ... which happens to remains the same.

    Surely many of his white flower child/hippie friends and fans would have identified with him with their share anti-fascist, anti-war mind-set; however there is no way any of them would have truly understand the profound passion expressed when stating "I will NEVER be you." Because, in the end, most of those same friends and fans would become exactly that same white collar suit. Jimmy knew that.
