My People

Been down on your knees, been ripped at the seams inside
Been standing in the shadows like somebody turned off the light
Oh before it breaks, time again, are you putting it all back together
Do you clean the cuts and stitch them up and keep carrying on

This is for My People

Fallin' down, coming back stronger
The down and outs, standing up taller
We'll keep from rising from the gutter
Through the fire
Don't stop fighting for it
We keep on rising when we're
Falling down, coming back stronger
This is for My People

Do you deal with the pain or throw it away
Let em talk, or make em pay
Do you see the blue sky, through the grey

I have crumbled and I have tumbled
And I have broken all i had to break but
I'm not the only one, you're not the only one

This is for My People

Fallin' down, coming back stronger
The down and outs, standing up taller
We'll keep on rising from the gutter
Through the fire
Don't stop fighting for it
Oh we keep on rising when we're
Falling down, coming back stronger
This is for My People

There's a fire burning brighter in our eyes tonight
And I can feel us runnin' closer to the finishing line
We're the fighter on our knees and when the punches come, they come
And we turn them around and we
Go down swinging hard, keep on swinging hard and our beating hearts
Won't stop 'til its over

I'm not the only one, you're not the only one

This is for My People
Fallin' down, coming back stronger
The down and outs, standing up taller
Fallin' down, coming back stronger
Fallin' down, coming back stronger
The down and outs, standing up taller
Fallin' down, coming back stronger

This is for My People
