| Hey Ya’ll
|
| Come over here, check this out
|
| And gimme a minute of your time, but don’t doubt
|
| Anything that I tell ya’ll, listen up closely
|
| It’s something ghostly, my ancestors told me
|
| Way back before we walked the earth
|
| It was so much cleaner cause it wasn’t disturbed
|
| But there was still hatred and strugglin' for our color
|
| Cause if you had nothing you were bound to smother
|
| And I don’t know why, cause helping hands should be a must
|
| It was written on the manuscript, in the book you trust
|
| Unless it’s all just a way to get us arguin'
|
| Believe what you want, even if it’s a life of sin
|
| Hey ya’ll
|
| Everybody gotta watch they back
|
| We alone, so watch your back
|
| Hey ya’ll
|
| Everybody gotta walk in they own path
|
| But at the end, you can’t go back
|
| Ever since there’s been a jail cell
|
| Murder’s been committed
|
| Thou shalt not kill, and who’s the one sinnin'?
|
| At the end of all of this, will they be judged?
|
| Punished for the life they took with no grudge
|
| Nowadays, things sure ain’t changed
|
| There’s a whole lot of states allowed to fry your brains
|
| That’s cause lately we just burn it away
|
| Let them build they own prisons where their ass can stay
|
| It’s a wonder how we let things happen
|
| I ain’t special
|
| But I enjoy takin' it to another level
|
| Bad choices lead to a terrible afterlife
|
| So, just learn your wrongs from right
|
| Hey ya’ll
|
| Everybody gotta watch they back
|
| We alone, so watch your back
|
| Hey ya’ll
|
| Everybody gotta walk in they own path
|
| But at the end, you can’t go back
|
| Hey ya’ll
|
| I don’t mean to get ya thinkin' about
|
| Things that’s gonna get ya down and out
|
| There just things I had to get up off my chest
|
| Cause I’m trying to relax and just do my best
|
| I don’t wanna take a situation, and turn it upside down
|
| I just feel this world’s f**kin' around
|
| I mean, who am I to judge?
|
| I just, I was raised to be strong enough
|
| Hey ya’ll
|
| Do you understand what I’m saying?
|
| Hey ya’ll
|
| My ancestors got me down on my knees prayin'
|
| Hey ya’ll
|
| They keep tellin' me to spread the word
|
| Hey ya’ll
|
| Cause when they come their gonna test what you have learned
|
| Hey ya’ll
|
| Everybody gotta watch they back
|
| We alone, so watch your back
|
| Hey ya’ll
|
| Everybody gotta walk in they own path
|
| But at the end, you can’t go back
|
| Hey ya’ll
|
| Hey ya’ll!
|
| Retaliation, what now bitch! |
