My People Free |
Oh, first off, free Juan, free Brian, and free Jig |
Behind bars, doin' bids, locked up on «he say, she say» shit |
Separated from they kids, the system’s sick |
We guilty before we can prove our innocence |
Because it’s lucrative |
The more bodies in cells, the more they can make sales |
To get more sales, it makes no sense |
And recklin' the major detention center |
Won’t give their inmates no heat or medical attention |
They lie to the masses and downplay their livin' conditions |
But steady, they buildin' more prison cells |
And increasin' college tuition, closin' down neighborhood schools |
They strip away tools, we’re still gon' go teachin' them shit they can use |
When it’s all said and done |
Ring, ding, dong |
Ring, di-ding, ding-ding, dong |
The bell is ringin', the clock is tickin' |
We need to change the way we livin' and how we thinkin' |
Ring, ding, dong (Uh) |
Ring, di-ding, ding-ding, dong |
To our people on high positions |
Ain’t assistin' bein' a house nigga |
How you a public figure only worried 'bout your figure? |
Free (That's real spirit, Ash) |
Let my people free (Lord, physically, spiritually) |
Let my people— |
I had a nightmare the other night |
That all of my prayers were denied |
When you look toward a savage nation for humanity |
Which one do you want more, the validation or reality? |
Let my people free |
Yeah, let my people free |
I rap for the night Big L and Big and Pac got killed, uh |
I know some street niggas that’s real |
I know some regular niggas who just as real |
Some legends who never popped that steel |
Street niggas who rap as ill, real life, they not that ill |
Niggas with record deals, real life, they contract kill |
Niggas who kill to survive, niggas who kill just to kill |
A lot of niggas probably want you to die just 'cause you’re dressed to kill |
(Survive that shit) |
Your final day might be the day that you finally made it |
Only Gucci we acknowledge around this way is Radric Davis |
Only thing fly around this way, hollow tips, I dodge that shit |
Gave my nigga three to five for marijuana and legalized that shit |
Ring, ding, dong |
Ring, di-ding, ding-ding, dong |
The bell is ringin', the clock is tickin' |
We need to change the way we livin' and how we thinkin' |
Uh, ring, ding, dong |
Ring, di-ding, ding-ding, dong |
To our people on high positions |
Ain’t assistin' bein' a house nigga |
How you a public figure only worried 'bout your figure? |
Free (Free) |
Let my people free |
Let my people— |
I had a nightmare the other night |
That all of my prayers were denied |
When you look toward a savage nation for humanity |
Which one do you want more, the validation or reality? |
Let my people free |
Let my people free |
Let my people free |
Let my people free |
