This one here's for my peoples In a promised land that never planned to free you Designed to keep you, curled in the fetal, feeble Stay strong brother we need you This one here's for my peoples In a promised land that never planned to free you Designed to keep you, curled in the fetal, feeble Stay strong sister we need you Hold on tight and don't let go Stay strong, my people Toasts and cheers abundant, my dear beloved, truly love us Take in the view and just, admire the beauty of us Rich in pigment, in spirit and accomplishments Not the monolith synonymous with impoverishment Imprisonment and pain we're presented as Lift black leather clad fists in everlasting praise for the Courageous liberators, demonstrators Educators, innovative creatives The nurturers, entrepreneurs and organizers Who remind us to keep our heads pointed skyward Survivors who can testify, that the sentiment Of never forget has never been lent to our genocides In this nation, under greed, divisible Hypocritical, conditional creeds and principles Peer pressured patriotism pledges allegiance to To stand for its anthem, we haven't a reason to 'Cause still treated as if our home this only sorta is Genetic screenings seeking our lineage origins The lessons they teach us with, their selective Amnesia, neglect and mislead us Warp our self-image worse than carnival glass That picture's been harder to smash than all of us had imagined Harsh interactions, arguing backwards Over our views of blackness Features, textures, complexions, the grandest dreams Of our ancestors, we profess to manifest it Yet, still our relationships are contentious And buying from our own kin we want incentives And discounts provided, it's high time We become tribe minded, when in alignment We share tools instead of hoarding them Support entrepreneurship and emporiums Endorse inclusive behaviors, pooling the fruits Of our labor with our dutiful neighbors Cultivating villages with care, intentional community service Health, wealth, and unity purposed Re-engagement, reconciliations, mediation Can agree to disagree with handshake embraces They say home is where there is hatred So goal is to escape it But ain't none of us free until each of us are Can't eat then just leave your people to starve The strong shall guard the weaker, respond for the meeker We are each other's keeper Ain't none of us free until each of us are Can't eat then just leave your people to starve The strong shall guard the weaker, respond for the meeker We are each other's keeper For my people, this one here's for my people This one here's for my people, this one here's for my This one here's for my people We are each other's keeper This one here's for my people We are each other's keeper We need to get ourselves together We gotta love one another We need to get ourselves together We gotta love one another To my people May God bless you and keep you Make His face shine upon you and grant you Peace beyond anything man could hand you Shalom, the wholeness, the fullness Calm when the waters of this World form a bullwhip Safeguard over your arc 'til the storm comes to an end Depart in unison singing Amen (Amen)
