D’You Know What I Mean? Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Step off the train all alone at dawn
Back into the hole where I was born
Sun in the sky never raised an eye to me
The blood on the trax and they must be mine
Fool on the hill and I feel fine
Don't look back 'cause you know what you might see

[Verse 2]
Look into the wall of my mind's eye
I think I know, but I don't know why
Questions are the answers you might need
Coming in a mess, going out in style
I ain't good looking but I'm someone's child
No one can give me the air that's mine to breathe

[Pre-Chorus]
I met my maker, I made him cry
And on my shoulder he asked me why
His people won't fly through the storm
I said "Ey, listen up man, they don't even know you're born"

[Chorus]
All my people right here, right now
D'you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah
All my people right here, right now
D'you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah
All my people right here, right now
D'you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah

[Verse 3]
I don't really care for what you believe
So open up your fist or you won't receive
The thoughts and the words of every man you'll need
Get up off the floor and believe in life
No-one's ever gonna ever ask you twice
Get on the bus and bring it on home to me

[Pre-Chorus]
I met my maker, I made him cry
And on my shoulder he asked me why
His people won't fly through the storm
I said "Listen up man, they don't even know you're born"

[Chorus]
All my people right here, right now
They know what I mean, yeah, yeah
All my people right here, right now
They know what I mean, yeah, yeah
All my people right here, right now
They know what I mean, yeah, yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
All my people right here, right now
D'you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah
All my people right here, right now
D'you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah
All my people right here, right now
D'you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
