My Peoples Lyrics - Singles - Dj Jazzy Jeff

I've seen streets, we're youth 

Are forced to take the long way home 

And I've seen mothers mourn 

The loss of there only born 

Still I believe, we are given nothin' more than we can beg 

A vision is only blurred when life seems unfair 

Who am I to judge the man with the needle in his veins 

When he's just chasing freedom to escape the pain 

Of the worlds fast paced pipe dreams and shortcomings 

He's just trying to make do and find a way out of nothing 

It's like, we damned if we do and damned if we don't 

And it's a very thin line between respect and being broke 

And being one red button away from World War III 

Always called the minority 

And always, always pulled over 

Facing police brutality

Why is every street a living hell? 

Probably 'cause they want us to fail 

Yeah, three strikes and surely back to jail 

Like the slave ships when they sail 

Years and years of civil rights chasing to pass that bill 

But ask yourself, people have we changed or are we standing still 

Down and out struggling in this concrete jungle 

One check away from starvation, poverty 

But they say being free is about speaking your mind 

Prophesies too much and that's where they draw the line 

A line as thin as the line between war and peace 

A line as thin as the line between west and east 

One button away from World War III 

Being called a minority 

And being pulled, always being pulled over 

And subject to brutality

Why is every street like a living hell? 

Probably 'cause they all just want us to fail 

And three strikes and surely back to jail 

Like the slaves ship when they sail but they don't know that 

My people whose pains are cornered 

My peoples all shapes and colors 

My peoples got more peoples with ills 

That's more peoples, more siesters and brothers 

My people stay strong as an ox 

My peoples will never fail 

My peoples will always remain 

Remain with a story to tell 

My peoples was paints on the door 

My peoples all shapes and colors 

My peoples got more peoples with ills 

That's more people, more sisters and brothers 

My people stay strong as an ox 

My peoples will never fail 

My peoples will always remain 

Remain with a story to tell 

My peoples was paints on the door 

My peoples all shapes and colors 

My peoples got more peoples in jail 

That's more people than sisters and brothers 

My people stay strong as an ox 

My peoples will never fail 

My peoples will always remain 

Remain with a story to tell 

My peoples was paints on the door 

My peoples all shapes and colors 

My peoples got more peoples with ills 

More people, more sisters and brothers 

My people stay strong as an ox 

My peoples will never fail 

My peoples will always remain 

Remain with a story to tell
