To My People Songtext
von Nimo

From the day that we were born
And mom hugged us with warmth
And we grew cuz we knew we had all your support
From the fams, to the friends,
Your love was medicine
Keep givin′ us the strength to rise
When we would sin

And the knowledge that we gained
Through every single mistake
But you never backed down,
Through this you taught me faith

Every single one of you,
Through being you, you do,
Find a way to spread love through
Truth, through me and you


And its because of you, I grew
Because of you, I flew
Because of you, I made it through
Without residue
Because of you,
We all have a home to come to
You're a blessing to us all, so keep just being you

To my people yeh,
You′re my soul, you're my roots
Your're my family, my life and my truth

To my people yeh,
Your everybody, every being, every life, every moment, everything

To my people yeh,
Your my God, you′re my soul,
You′re the one that pushes me to help me grow

To my people yeh,
I bow down to your heart of gold

2 (Famus):
First I thank the Universe, the infinite the all,
God, Jah, Allah, whatever name you call
Then I thank the ancestors, yes the predecessors,
The wisdom and the knowledge that they pass only bless us


Shout to Marcus Garvey, MLK, Malcom, Gandhi
Bob Marley, Michael Jackson, Tupac, they remind me,
The power of the pen, the music and the voice,
Everything they've done, lets me know I have choice,
Now for my people, mom, pops, sister, brothers,

Best friend, acquaintance, lover, co-worker,
Even if I don′t know you, all the good that you do,
Helps me see my way through,
Service space thanks for sharing all the good news

3 (Nick Dalton):
When I close my eyes they're all I see
Learned souls who walk with me
They taught to laugh
They taught to love
You go to hug when push comes to shove
Turn the cheek
Forgive
Walk away
Tomorrow is another day
Life is short
Helping hands they say
Are holier than the ones who pray...
Now Pray

All my people
How I love you
Want you to know
All my people
How I love you so
All my people
I walk with you from my soul

You′re my people.
