My People Lyrics - The Art Of Love And War - Angie Stone

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 

 

[Chorus] 

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 

 

[Chorus: x2]
