I pray, to my God in me, the earth and sky
For the ones who claim to love me but I know they lie
I pray, for the ghetto youth, cuz I can hear their cries
Babylon just shoot us down cuz they realize
We're great, destined to prosper in life
Can't depend on no one else so we create our own grind
Babylon control the day, but they know who control the night
Most niccaz born in, we never chose this life
I'm tired, tired of the damn frustration
I'm tired, of the police and their damn malestation
They know my occupation...
So they lock down my soul, send me to incarsaration
But this music and poetry heals the nation
This is what the people use to get thru their tribulations
All hail to the nation, they don't want no demonstration...
We Shall Overcome.
