lirik lagu let the people say – tantrum t.a.
[intro: t.a.] i speak for those who have never been heard
for those who have been overlooked
i am the voice of my generation
i am the people
listen, let us pray for a better day and
for forgiveness ’cause the flesh that we all wear is tainted
i know my spirit gonna fly if my breath is taken
so i don’t fear death ’cause heaven is my destination
[verse 1: t.a.] the president shakin’ hands with the terrorists
keep ya eyes open don’t sleep, david letterman
keep the 9 on me, don’t believe they protection is
geared up to cover us dark face americans
i pray everyday for all my relatives
and the youth, bein’ shooed from the truth
any fool can see the proof
that our hues be the noose
ask zimmerman, they use us as screws to hang they head of deer
never scared to put my trayvon hoodie on
no more soda, arizona from the goodie store
bag of skittles just so they can get the riddle
i don’t fear no man or no government official, naw
only god can judge me you can put ya gavel down
i know his blessings cover me when i’m on battle grounds
i ask the lord to plant my feet on shattered grounds
and walk though the shadowed towns
head up hammers down
[chorus] they try to strip us of our self worth but still pride’s here
we been set up for failure since we first got here
let the people say, let the people say
let the people say, let the people say
martin luther king’s dream became a nightmare
it’s no segregation still racism’s right here
let the people say, let the people say
let the people say, let the people say (amen)
[verse 2: t.a.] land of the free, home of the slaves
seems like we livin’ in vain by jugglin’ minimum wage
but we rich in the brain, to me that’s bigger than pay
and the government know it that’s why our statistics is paved (yeeeah)
so now i’m forced to live as a bandit
a young black savage born victim of slavery’s damage, i
shed tears for the baby daddies
and the single mothers raisin’ kids anyway she manage
faith’s advantage
i watched my mama struggle everyday and face disaster
my father figure was ben frank and my favorite rapper
no marriage, single parent now i’m labeled b*st*rd
police slay and harass us so my holster favor magnums yeeeah
safety off like polamalu injured
’cause evil’s round me tryna falsify all my credentials
no weapon formed against me shall prosper as i remember
my bible scriptures encrypted inside my mind monumental
[chorus] they try to strip us of our self worth but still pride’s here
we been set up for failure since we first got here
let the people say, let the people say
let the people say, let the people say
martin luther king’s dream became a nightmare
it’s no segregation still racism’s right here
let the people say, let the people say
let the people say, let the people say (amen)
they try to strip us of our self worth but still pride’s here
we been set up for failure since we first got here
let the people say, let the people say
let the people say, let the people say
martin luther king’s dream became a nightmare
it’s no segregation still racism’s right here
let the people say, let the people say
let the people say, let the people say (amen)
