O'hene Savant - We The People lyrics

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 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…
