Nope, goes back to the Blues song Stottsboro Boys, predates CG by 80 years or so.

Wow, is that where Gambino got it from?

No idea, just know that’s the first reference to staying woke.

Ah okay, yeah this is in 2017 I think, or whenever Get Out came out. The whole movie premise is that he's unaware of what's going on, and the song plays in the title.

No wonder Ed Sheeran complained in court. I mean, there's only so much human originality, most things are a copy of a copy or a fork of a fork

Yeah that’s true but at the same time Sheeran doesn’t seem to be trying too hard try something different, same chords, same structure every time but most pop songs rarely stray past 2-4 chords these days.

People here talk about 1971 but if you want a grim chart check out chord and key changes in popular songs from the 1950s to the present day.
