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)
