My People

Tryin’ to take me back away

Take me back on down

There’s nobody left to save in this town

I keep runnin’ away

I keep runnin’, runnin’ away

As long as I remember, been fightin’ for my freedom

Staying up, reading, searching for a way to beat ‘em

I’m a soldier. Bullshit – I don’t really need it

I used to stay weeded, now I’m standing undefeated

You know I love my people. I write a fucking thesis

On how we struggle and survive, but you won’t read it

And by the all of my people come from different races

And come from different nations. They die for education

All of my people fill the streets, they’re scared of opposition

My people take the country back from all you greedy bitches

My people chop your head off for pimpin’ little sisters

My people know how to shut the fuck up and listen

My people plannin’ when, my people must prevail

Some of my people cops, some of them locked in jail

They all know the real, so you could keep the trash

And take your propaganda, and shove it up your ass

Tryin’ to take me back away

Take me back on down

There’s nobody left to save in this town

They’ve been tryin’ to shoot me down

Ohh, I keep runnin’ away

I keep runnin’, runnin’ away

My people never run, unless they run for cover

And then return fire, until your ass smothered

My people never bluffin’, they know that life is real

My people keep their word; it’s worth a hundred mill

Ain’t no way you gon’ survive when all my people strong

They try to bury us alive, but we made it home

It’s time to kill bill; I sharpened all my weapons

I kissed the wife and kids. I’m talking to the reverend

I got two brothers sitting on their ass up in heaven

I cuss them both out every day, cause neither one is helping

My people working hard, or looking for a job

My people go to school. My people getting robbed

By the credit cards, thugs, and the greedy system

My people tried to play it cool, ‘till the rules bit ‘em

So welcome to the end, unless you let us in

This is the age of truth. The phoenix flies again

Tryin’ to take me back away

Take me back on down

There’s nobody left to save in this town

They’ve been tryin’ to shoot us down

Ohh, I keep runnin’ away

I keep runnin’, runnin’ away

Tryin’ to take me back away

Take me back on down

There’s nobody left to save in this town

They’ve been tryin’ to shoot me down

Ohh, I keep runnin’ away

I keep runnin’, runnin’ away

Tryin’ to take me back away

Take me back on down

There’s nobody left to save in this town

They’ve been tryin’ to shoot me down

Ohh, I keep runnin’ away

I keep runnin’, runnin’ away
