My Black People (feat. Darla C.)

This is for all my black people
We need to get it together y'all
One love one kind
One heart one mind
With God it's all possible

My black people my black black people
We need to work together my black people
We need to pray together my black people
So we can stay together my black black people
We need to network our dollars and cents
So we can make sure that every penny is spent
To help make our community strong
So that our legacy continues on

Now I don't see why we can't do these wonders
With God hand in our hand it makes me wonder
Why we as a people don't pull together
We all in one family with different mothers
We light brown brown brown and black brown
Some of you live downtown and others live uptown
Some drive fancy cars that's real fast
While others tryna scrape up change to get a bus pass
It ain't funny but I'm here to say
We all need to pull together and then pray
And ask God to give us a unity mind set
So we can all start coming correct
That'll be a beautiful sight to see
All black people getting together in unity
With no more strife or envy and jealousy
Now that's something the world ain't ready to see

My black people my black black people
We need to work together my black people
We need to pray together my black people
So we can stay together my black black people
We need to network our dollars and cents
So we can make sure that every penny is spent
To help make our community strong
So that our legacy continues on

Now I'm not gonna read the scriptures that I'm saying
You need to grab the book and then keep on praying
Then read the word so you can prove to yourself
Don't let ya Bible collect dust on the shelf
The answers that you need for life is written clear
It only works when you have the ear to hear
Just keep ya focus on peace of mind
And everything in life will go real fine
We need to learn how to trust one another
I'm talking to all my sisters and brothers
No need for back biting lying and cheating
Just put ya hand out and then start greeting
Each other like it was meant to be
Cause when you roll with God that should be easy
We was all put together by the same God
So getting alone should be easy and never hard

My black people my black black people
We need to work together my black people
We need to pray together my black people
So we can stay together my black black people
We need to network our dollars and cents
So we can make sure that every penny is spent
To help make our community strong
So that our legacy continues on

What's wrong with us not supporting the black biz
It doesn't matter if it's hers or it his
We need to channel all our dollars and cents
So we can rise as a mighty people
The more we buy then the prices get cheaper
That way we all can all have a piece of the pie
And get out riches on before we die
And make our kids real proud of us
When they see us all just honor and trust
Each other as a close family should
Then we can walk in peace in any neighborhood
Come on people let get our hearts and minds right
Right is how we gonna treat each other right
And lets start with a fresh attitude
And give God the glory for bringing us through

If my people who are called by my name
Will humble themselves and pray
And seek my face and turn from their wicked ways
Then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sins
And will heal their land

That's for all my black people man
That's the basis for us getting it together y'all

My black people my black black people
We need to work together my black people
We need to pray together my black people
So we can stay together my black black people
We need to network our dollars and cents
So we can make sure that every penny is spent
To help make our community strong
So that our legacy continues on
My black people my black black people
We need to work together my black people
We need to pray together my black people
So we can stay together my black black people
We need to network our dollars and cents
So we can make sure that every penny is spent
To help make our community strong
So that our legacy continues on
