My People

[Verse 1]
Rich people
Living in paradise
Poor people
Under the bridge at night
Most people
Know what it takes to survive
But my people
Know how to do it and thrive
Oh yeah

[Chorus]
My people
We've been left behind before
My people
Devil's knocking on your door
My people
Sad so many had to go
My people
We still here, and one day we gon' all be in the same boat

[Verse 2]
Rich people
Still living high and dry
Poor people
They watching the waters rise
Oh yeah
Most people
Don't even bat an eye
But my people
Know that it's real this time
Oh yeah

[Chorus]
My people
We've been left behind before
My people
Devil's knocking on your door
My people
Sad so many had to go
My people
We still here, and one day we gon' all be in the same boat
All be in the same boat, yeah

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
My people
We've been left behind before
My people
Devil's knocking on your door
My people
Sad so many had to go
My people
We still here, and one day we gon' all be in the same boat
My people
We've been left behind before
My people
Devil's knocking on your door (now baby)
My people
Sad so many had to go
My people
We still here, and one day we gon' all be in the same boat
My people
We've been left behind before
My people
Devil's knocking on your door
My people
Sad so many had to go
My people
We still here, and one day we gon' all be in the same boat
