Ache'n For Acres |
Yes, indedy sho-nuff needy |
I got the feeling to stretch on out |
my children are cryin' my elders are dying. |
&me I’m relying on a check for rent |
if I gotta be broke then ain’t no joke |
I’m moving to the country and buying some land |
And I’ll be alright if I can rest at night |
knowing my children got land to stand on. |
Ache’n 4 acres plenty of acres |
money spent in rent ain’t earning me cent. |
Ain’t gettin no caddy, no Benz, no jeep. |
until I got some $ for some land to keep |
no more children crying instead they’ll be running |
running free and wild in the heat of the sun. |
cuz once I’m gone I wanna feel strong |
that my children will go on, family land and all sayin' |
I got some land to stand on no more ache’n 4 acres |
no beggin for leftovers got some space of my own |
I got grounds to raise on no more ache’n 4 acres |
no more giving to takers got some land to leave on! |
No more elders passin' without my kids askin' |
papa who’s tombstones are those in the yard |
Family gotta stay close all of us gotta stay close |
Ache’n 4 acres 4 buildin' a nation. |
Ain’t about depending on government spendin' |
especially when the government’s got a plan of their own |
separate from me-separate from U |
separate from most-in sync with a few. |
Ache’n 4 acres plenty of acres |
my grandpappa had em all but he lost em &he sold em |
the cities were a growin' and grandpa’s getting older |
little did he know that his land was valuable |
Got land to stand on then U can stand up! |
stand up for your rights as a woman, as a man |
man O' man my choices expand |
Ain’t got me no money but I got me some land |
