My People
If I can't live free
If I can't live with the same respect as the next man
I don't wanna be here because God has cursed me
To see what life should be like
When will I see change for my people
I wanna take the chains off my people
I wanna stop the rain for my people
Let 'em know I'm not ashamed of my people
And when will we see change change change
Let's take off the chains chains chains
Dancing in the rain rain rain
'Cause we are not ashamed shamed
No time to blame we are not cowards
We cannot change if we don't have power
We gotta aim and take back what's ours
Gotta be brave and step on these flowers
History gone replaced by the hate
Dimming your light cause they know you're great
But destiny coming and this is our fate
We coming back ain't taking no breaks
Hand getting chopped if you take from my plate
Shots to the head for my people sake
I don't eat apple cause I see the snake
Sleep for the rich so I stay awake
Freedom ain't free we gotta pay the price
To be what we be I'm willing to sacrifice
When will I see change for my people
I wanna take the chains off my people
I wanna stop the rain for my people
Let 'em know I'm not ashamed of my people
And when will we see change change change
Let's take off the chains chains chains
Dancing in the rain rain rain
'Cause we are not ashamed shamed
Ah ancestral spirits run through my veins
Ah and they telling me to cut off all of my chains
Ah telling me I got heritage in my name
So F' it I speak from the heart
F' it roll up my sleeves from the start
Tell 'em me and my brothers want peace
Tell 'em if not we pull up with the piece
If we make the pie we want a piece
We don't want a slice we don't wanna act nice
We just wanna live life so better act right that's right
I got a plan I got a vision
Young Prince K. that boy on a mission
When will I see change for my people
I wanna take the chains off my people
I wanna stop the rain for my people
Let 'em know I'm not ashamed of my people
And when will we see change change change
Let's take off the chains chains chains
Dancing in the rain rain rain
'Cause we are not ashamed shamed
If I can't live with the same respect as the next man
I don't wanna be here because God has cursed me
To see what life should be like
When will I see change for my people
I wanna take the chains off my people
I wanna stop the rain for my people
Let 'em know I'm not ashamed of my people
And when will we see change change change
Let's take off the chains chains chains
Dancing in the rain rain rain
'Cause we are not ashamed shamed
No time to blame we are not cowards
We cannot change if we don't have power
We gotta aim and take back what's ours
Gotta be brave and step on these flowers
History gone replaced by the hate
Dimming your light cause they know you're great
But destiny coming and this is our fate
We coming back ain't taking no breaks
Hand getting chopped if you take from my plate

Freedom ain't free we gotta pay the price
To be what we be I'm willing to sacrifice
When will I see change for my people
I wanna take the chains off my people
I wanna stop the rain for my people
Let 'em know I'm not ashamed of my people
And when will we see change change change
Let's take off the chains chains chains
Dancing in the rain rain rain
'Cause we are not ashamed shamed

And when will we see change change change
Let's take off the chains chains chains
Dancing in the rain rain rain
'Cause we are not ashamed shamed
