My People Lyrics & Chords By Angie Stone

LyricsView Chords

My people!
Yeah!
My people!
Yeah!

The foundation of the United States
Rests on the sweat of my people
Every enemy of the USA
Has had to face my people on the front lines

People, my people are dyin'
And we see it all the time
Don't know where our future would be
If he's not here, how do we stay strong?

Only we can save us from us
Bring about change we will show our people love

My people, hold your head up
My people, don't get fed up
My people rise, my people fight
My people do alright

My people walk with pride and
We're marchin' side by side and
My people laugh, my people cry
My people ride and die

People, my people, keep striving
There's a greater master plan
We need to know our history
We were kings and queens of the greatest dynasty

Only we can save us from us
Bring about change we will show our people love

My people, hold your head up
My people, don't get fed up
My people rise, my people fight
My people do alright

My people walk with pride and
We're marchin' side by side and
My people laugh, my people cry
My people ride and die

My people, hold your head up
My people, don't get fed up
My people rise, my people fight
My people do alright

My people walk with pride and
We're marchin' side by side and
My people laugh, my people cry
My people ride and die

My people, hold your head up
My people, don't get fed up
My people rise, my people fight
My people do alright

My people walk with pride and
We're marchin' side by side and
My people laugh, my people cry
My people ride and die

My people, hold your head up
My people, don't get fed up
My people rise, my people fight
My people do alright

My people walk with pride and
We're marchin' side by side and
My people laugh, my people cry
My people ride and die
