Yes, indedy sho-nuff needy
I got the feeling to stretch on out
my children are cryin' my elders are dying.
& me I'm relying on a check for rent
if I gotta be broke then ain't no joke
I'm moving to the country and buying some land
And I'll be alright if I can rest at night
knowing my children got land to stand on.
Ache'n 4 acres plenty of acres
money spent in rent ain't earning me cent.
Ain't gettin no caddy, no Benz, no jeep.
until I got some $ for some land to keep
no more children crying instead they'll be running
running free and wild in the heat of the sun.
'cause once I'm gone I wanna feel strong
that my children will go on, family land and all sayin'
I got some land to stand on no more ache'n 4 acres
no beggin for leftovers got some space of my own
I got grounds to raise on no more ache'n 4 acres
no more giving to takers got some land to leave on!
No more elders pa**in' without my kids askin'
papa who's tombstones are those in the yard
Family gotta stay close all of us gotta stay close
Ache'n 4 acres 4 buildin' a nation.
Ain't about depending on government spendin'
especially when the government's got a plan of their own
separate from me-separate from U
separate from most-in sync with a few.
Ache'n 4 acres plenty of acres
my grandpappa had em all but he lost em & he sold em
the cities were a growin' and grandpa's getting older
little did he know that his land was valuable
Got land to stand on then U can stand up!
stand up for your rights as a woman, as a man
man O' man my choices expand
Ain't got me no money but I got me some land
