My people!
Yeah!
My people!

Yeah!

The foundation of the United States

Rests on the sweat of my people
Every enemy of the USA
Has had to face my people on the front lines


People, my people are dyin'
And we see it all the time

Don't know where our future would be
If he's not here, how do we stay strong?


Only we can save us from us
Bring about change we will show our people love


My people, hold your head up
My people, don't get fed up
My people rise, my people fight

My people do alright

My people walk with pride and

We're marchin' side by side and
My people laugh, my people cry
My people ride and die


People, my people, keep striving
There's a greater master plan

We need to know our history
We were kings and queens of the greatest dynasty


Only we can save us from us
Bring about change we will show our people love


My people, hold your head up
My people, don't get fed up
My people rise, my people fight

My people do alright

My people walk with pride and

We're marchin' side by side and
My people laugh, my people cry
My people ride and die


My people, hold your head up
My people, don't get fed up

My people rise, my people fight
My people do alright


My people walk with pride and
We're marchin' side by side and
My people laugh, my people cry

My people ride and die
