My People Free

(Let my people go)
 Oh, first off, free Juan, free Brian, free Jig
 Behind bars, doin' bids, locked up on he say, she say shit
 Separated from their kids, the system's sick
 We guilty before we can prove our innocence
 Because it's lucrative
 The more bodies in cells, the more they can make sales
 To get more sales, it makes no sense
 And recklin' the major detention center
 Won't give their inmates no heat or medical attention
 They lie to the masses and downplay their livin' conditions
 But steady, they buildin' more prison cells
 And increasin' college tuition, closin' down neighborhood schools
 They strip away tools, we're still gon' go teachin' them shit they can use
 When it's all said and done
 Ring, ding, dong
 Ring, di-ding, ding-ding, dong
 The bell is ringin', the clock is tickin'
 We need to change the way we livin' and how we thinkin'
 Ring, ding, dong (Uh)
 Ring, di-ding, ding-ding, dong
 To our people on high positions
 Ain't assistin' bein' a house nigga
 How you a public figure only worried 'bout your figure?
 Free (That's real spirit, Ash)
 Let my people free (Lord, physically, spiritually)
 Let my people-
 I had a nightmare the other night
 That all of my prayers were denied
 When you look toward a savage nation for humanity
 Which one do you want more, the validation or reality?
 Let my people free
 Yeah, let my people free
 I rap for the night Big L and Big and Pac got killed, uh
 I know some street niggas that's real
 I know some regular niggas who just as real
 Some legends who never popped that steel
 Street niggas who rap as ill, real life, they not that ill
 Niggas with record deals, real life, they contract kill
 Niggas who kill to survive, niggas who kill just to kill
 A lot of niggas probably want you to die just 'cause you're dressed to kill (Survive that shit)
 Your final day might be the day that you finally made it
 Only Gucci we acknowledge around this way is Radric Davis
 Only thing fly around this way, hollow tips, I dodge that shit
 Gave my nigga three to five for marijuana and legalized that shit
 Ring, ding, dong
 Ring, di-ding, ding-ding, dong
 The bell is ringin', the clock is tickin'
 We need to change the way we livin' and how we thinkin'
 Uh, ring, ding, dong
 Ring, di-ding, ding-ding, dong
 To our people on high positions
 Ain't assistin' bein' a house nigga
 How you a public figure only worried 'bout your figure?
 Free (Free)
 Let my people free
 Let my people-
 I had a nightmare the other night
 That all of my prayers were denied
 When you look toward a savage nation for humanity
 Which one do you want more, the validation or reality?
 Let my people free
 Let my people free
 Let my people free
 Let my people free
