Angie Stone - My People lyrics

rate me

My people!

Yeah!

My people!

Yeah!

The foundation of the United States

Rests on the sweat of my people

Every enemy of the USA

Has had to face my people on the front lines

People, my people are dyin'

And we see it all the time

Don't know where our future would be

If he's not here, how do we stay strong?

Only we can save us from us

Bring about change we will show our people love

My people, hold your head up

My people, don't get fed up

My people rise, my people fight

My people do alright

My people walk with pride and

We're marchin' side by side and

My people laugh, my people cry

My people ride and die

People, my people, keep striving

There's a greater master plan

We need to know our history

We were kings and queens of the greatest dynasty

Only we can save us from us

Bring about change we will show our people love

My people, hold your head up

My people, don't get fed up

My people rise, my people fight

My people do alright

My people walk with pride and

We're marchin' side by side and

My people laugh, my people cry

My people ride and die

My people, hold your head up

My people, don't get fed up

My people rise, my people fight

My people do alright

My people walk with pride and

We're marchin' side by side and

My people laugh, my people cry

My people ride and die

We're marchin' side by side and

My people laugh, my people cry

My people ride and die

My people, hold your head up

My people, don't get fed up

My people rise, my people fight

My people do alright

My people walk with pride and

We're marchin' side by side and
