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 feel, even if it's a life of sin
[Chorus 2x] 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
[Chorus 2x] 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 fuckin' 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
[Chorus 2x] 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
