People
Oh, love kill my people and drown them dead
Down in the river of lights I'll fall
To drive us out to the end and take
A dream and bury them deep
Could I reach down deep inside myself?
Pull out the gold?
How glorious, this light in us
We are a wonder
How glorious, this light in us
We are a wonder
Oh, love
They strip us down and rape our minds
Our skin was a terrible thing to live in
And now with hand in hand, we free our souls
Remind us of our glory
Could I reach deep down inside myself?
Pull out the glory?
How glorious, this light in us
We are a wonder
How glorious, this light in us
We are a wonder
How glorious, this light in us
We are a wonder
How glorious, this light in us
We are a wonder
How glorious, this light in us
We are a wonder
Feel my flow dark skin, I'm a GLO
They gon feel my flow
Dark skin, I'm a GLO, GLO
We've seen the films, we starred in 'em
They've done as they feel til
We reached our limit they tied us to a car
Let it reach it's limit
I can still smell the skin in
The streets I live in
Do you feel like quitting? Do
You feel like quitting?
Don't know if I can just believe again
Don't know if I can trust a priest again
This has gone way past reasoning
Cause there ain't no reason to reason with
I'm sad I grew in it
Cause now I don't know
If I should grow with it or
I should let go of it
Let go of it, let go of it
Trying to find answers
(Trying to find answers)
That'll only make your head go missing
My gran said "curiosity killed the cat"
And her best friend went with it
Life's a bitch, oh, life's a bitch
Depending on what breed you is
Depending on what shoe you fit
Depending on what team you're in
You're middle-class or you're
Class-a selling you're selling dreams from
A living nightmare
I'm gonna shine cause my people died here
I'm gonna shine cause my people
Diamonds in the dirt
So they don't wanna put the light here
Put the light here, put the light here
Smell Martin Luther in the air
The moral of the story is glory
So everybody's winning 'round here
Ah, yeah said ah, yeah
(Ah yeah, ah yeah)
