Angie Stone, James Ingram - My People lyrics

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
(Can save us) from us (Oh, yeah)
Bring about change we will
Show our people love
(Show our people love, oh yeah, my people)

My people, hold your head up
(Hold your head up)
My people, don't get fed up
(Don't you get fed up)
My people rise, my people fight (Rise)
My people do alright (My people)
My people walk with pride and
We're marchin' side by side and
(We're doing alright)
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)
Bring about change we will
Show our people love
(My people, my people, my people, my people)

My people, hold your head up
My people, don't get fed up
(Don't get fed up)
My people rise, my people fight
My people do alright
My people walk with pride and (Side by side)
We're marchin' side by side and
(Laugh and cry)
My people laugh, my people cry
My people ride and die (Woo hoo, ooh)

Uh, huh (Hey, hey) uh, huh, uh huh (Oh)
Sing along, ah ooh ayy oh oh oh, oh oh oh
(Shoo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo dow)
Sing along, ah ooh ayy oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Sing along, yeah
Sing along, ah ooh ayy oh oh oh, oh oh oh
(Shoo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo dow)
Sing along, ah ooh ayy oh oh oh, oh oh oh
My people

My people, hold your head up
(Come on and hold your head up)
My people, don't get fed up
(Don't you get fed up)
My people rise, my people fight
(Come on, rise) my people do alright
My people walk with pride and (Woo hoo)
We're marchin' side by side and
My people laugh, my people cry
My people ride and die
