(Let my people go) |
| [00:18.430] |
Oh, first off, free Juan, free Brian, and free Jig |
| [00:23.206] |
Behind bars, doin' bids, locked up on "he say, she say" shit |
| [00:27.703] |
Separated from their kids, the system's sick |
| [00:32.658] |
We guilty before we can prove our innocence |
| [00:36.579] |
Because it's lucrative |
| [00:38.952] |
The more bodies in cells, the more they can make sales |
| [00:42.368] |
To get more sales, it makes no sense |
| [00:45.484] |
And recklin' the major detention center |
| [00:48.632] |
Won't give their inmates no heat or medical attention |
| [00:52.399] |
They lie to the masses and downplay their livin' conditions |
| [00:56.408] |
But steady, they buildin' more prison cells |
| [00:59.567] |
And increasin' college tuition, closin' down neighborhood schools |
| [01:04.557] |
They strip away tools, we're still gon' go teachin' them shit they can use |
| [01:09.152] |
When it's all said and done |
| [01:11.546] |
Ring, ding, dong |
| [01:14.427] |
Ring, di-ding, ding-ding, dong |
| [01:17.331] |
The bell is ringin', the clock is tickin' |
| [01:19.502] |
We need to change the way we livin' and how we thinkin' |
| [01:23.755] |
Ring, ding, dong (Uh) |
| [01:26.830] |
Ring, di-ding, ding-ding, dong |
| [01:29.335] |
To our people on high positions |
| [01:31.284] |
Ain't shit like me, I'm Chris Lighty, I'm Violator |
| [01:33.815] |
How you a public figure only worried 'bout your figure? |
| [01:36.985] |
Free (That's real spirit, Ash) |
| [01:41.034] |
Let my people free (Lord, physically, spiritually) |
| [01:48.131] |
Let my people |
| [01:49.805] |
I had a nightmare the other night |
| [01:55.189] |
That all of my prayers were denied |
| [02:01.417] |
When you look toward a savage nation for humanity |
| [02:07.954] |
Which one do you want more, the validation or reality? |
| [02:14.140] |
Let my people free |
| [02:17.137] |
Yeah, let my people free |
| [02:19.069] |
I rap for the night Big L and Big and Pac got killed, uh |
| [02:22.746] |
Ain't assisting being a house nigga |
| [02:24.339] |
I know some street niggas that's real |
| [02:26.612] |
Some legends who never popped that steel |
| [02:28.699] |
I know some regular niggas who just as real |
| [02:31.309] |
Street niggas who rap as ill, real life, they not that ill |
| [02:34.501] |
Niggas with record deals, real life, they contract kill |
| [02:37.896] |
A lot of niggas probably want you to die just 'cause you're dressed to kill (Survive that shit) |
| [02:41.341] |
Your final day might be the day that you finally made it |
| [02:44.016] |
Only Gucci we acknowledge around this way is Radric Davis |
| [02:47.187] |
Only thing fly around this way, hollow tips, I dodge that shit |
| [02:50.458] |
Gave my nigga three to five for marijuana and legalized that shit |
| [02:53.450] |
Ring, ding, dong |
| [02:56.238] |
Ring, di-ding, ding-ding, dong |
| [02:59.063] |
The bell is ringin', the clock is tickin' |
| [03:01.834] |
We need to change the way we livin' and how we thinkin' |
| [03:06.327] |
Uh, ring, ding, dong |
| [03:09.398] |
Ring, di-ding, ding-ding, dong |
| [03:11.338] |
To our people on high positions |
| [03:13.784] |
Ain't shit like me, I'm Chris Lighty, I'm Violator |
| [03:16.122] |
How you a public figure only worried 'bout your figure? |

| [03:24.093] |
Let my people free |
| [03:30.446] |

| [03:31.979] |
I had a nightmare the other night |
| [03:37.459] |
That all of my prayers were denied |
| [03:43.692] |
