This is for everybody that's tired of the same nonsense, I'm saying we the people
Verse 1:
In the ghettos of North Philly and New York
Chicago, Los Angeles and Detroit
We need a resurrection without a question
It's time for some prayer so join in this session
I'm here to destroy our great facade
With the pen my only weapon all praise to God
People put your hands up the revolution is here
Now repeat after me, I do declare
‘I do declare,' to fight for love, ‘to fight for love'
Aight that's enough
If you really meant that you will feed the poor
You will learn from the work of Jesus or
The life of O, this and the likes of O
This encompa**es all other righteous folk
We believe in the truth if it means our d**h
‘Cause d**h is life and fear and fright is of the dead
Refrain:
We the people are sick of your secrecy
And your secret society, I'm sayin'
We the people need to believe in you
And the things that you seek to do, ok?
We the people, we that you overlook
When you try to get over look, I'm sayin'
We the people need to be taught and fed
We're the ones who have fought and bled
Again, we the people…
Verse 2:
Are sick of your politics ‘cause we know it's a pile of tricks
Y'all smile at kids and shake hands just to win our vote
But we ain't seen you in the hood before
You need to be more honest
And don't come with that false promise
This time if we choose you then stick behind us
You need to pay a visit to the place you govern
But you won't ‘cause you covet everyone but the colored
But in the name of the slums and the villages
Where either hunger or firearms k** our kids
I'ma man up and stand up with my crew
The RAHM Nation, new patrons of truth
You can see us on the block or the shelters y'all
In the bar or the church where we help the lost
Ain't no wealth involved, only universal laws
Of he who guides and protects who?…
Refrain:
We the people are sick of your secrecy
And your secret society, I'm sayin'
We the people need to believe in you
And the things that you seek to do, ok?
We the people, we that you overlook
When you try to get over look, I'm sayin'
We the people need to be taught and fed
We're the ones who have fought and bled
Again, we the people…
Verse 3:
We don't run, we don't dare, we don't back down
We got the fire inside us, look at our background
It dates back to the '60s and beyond
For eons and eons we keep on
And we strong ‘cause weak arms we don't have
And weak legs a weakness, we won't [?]
We don't ask for much but what is ours
And if ours is not given then it's on
May this song play on in the true hearts
When I'm gone moved on if I do part
I pray that my life was not in vain
Or the life of my ancestors who died in pain
I complain because I'm unimpressed with the mess
Of the West infested with hatred and s**
Lies and deceit, chastisement of peace
Makers who make peace for the streets or…
Refrain:
We the people are sick of your secrecy
And your secret society, I'm sayin'
We the people need to believe in you
And the things that you seek to do, ok?
We the people, we that you overlook
When you try to get over look, I'm sayin'
We the people need to be taught and fed
We're the ones who have fought and bled
Again, we the people…
