Flipsyde - My People lyrics

[Steve Knight] Tryin’ to take me back away Take me back on down There’s nobody left to save in this town I keep runnin’ away I keep runnin’, runnin’ away [Piper] As long as I remember, been fightin’ for my freedom Staying up, reading, searching for a way to beat ‘em I’m a soldier. Bullsh** – I don’t really need it I used to stay weeded, now I’m standing undefeated You know I love my people. I write a f**ing thesis On how we struggle and survive, but you won’t read it And by the all of my people come from different races And come from different nations. They die for education All of my people fill the streets, they’re scared of opposition My people take the country back from all you greedy b**hes My people chop your head off for pimpin’ little sisters My people know how to shut the f** up and listen My people plannin’ when, my people must prevail Some of my people cops, some of them locked in jail They all know the real, so you could keep the trash And take your propaganda, and shove it up your a** [Steve Knight] Tryin’ to take me back away Take me back on down There’s nobody left to save in this town They’ve been tryin’ to shoot me down Ohh, I keep runnin’ away I keep runnin’, runnin’ away [Piper] My people never run, unless they run for cover And then return fire, until your a** smothered My people never bluffin’, they know that life is real My people keep their word; it’s worth a hundred mill Ain’t no way you gon’ survive when all my people strong They try to bury us alive, but we made it home It’s time to k** Bill; I sharpened all my weapons I kissed the wife and kids. I’m talking to the reverend. I got two brothers sitting on their a** up in heaven. I cuss them both out every day, cause neither one is helping. My people working hard, or looking for a job. My people go to school. My people getting robbed. By the credit cards, thugs, and the greedy system. My people tried to play it cool, ‘till the rules bit ‘em. So welcome to the end, unless you let us in. This is the age of truth. The phoenix flies again. [Steve Knight] Tryin’ to take me back away Take me back on down There’s nobody left to save in this town They’ve been tryin’ to shoot us down Ohh, I keep runnin’ away I keep runnin’, runnin’ away Tryin’ to take me back away Take me back on down There’s nobody left to save in this town They’ve been tryin’ to shoot me down Ohh, I keep runnin’ away I keep runnin’, runnin’ away Tryin’ to take me back away Take me back on down There’s nobody left to save in this town They’ve been tryin’ to shoot me down Ohh, I keep runnin’ away I keep runnin’, runnin’ away
