lyrics

We The People
By Tor, David, Josh, Maya


ANNOUNCER:
We the people, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America

VERSE (TAV):
This is an intervention -
A personal prevention
The best intention
A national redemption -

It's a new direction
The end of repression,
We're all reflections
Of each other's oppression

CHORUS:
Freedom, We the people got
Soul, we the people got
Freedom, We the people got
Let our people go! (Libertad!)

Freedom, We the people got
Soul, we the people got
Freedom, We the people got
Let our people go! (Let our people go!)

Freedom, We the people got
Soul, we the people got
Freedom, We the people got
Let our people go! (en la alma!)

Freedom, We the people got
Soul, we the people got
Freedom, We the people got
Let our people go! (Let our people go!)

VERSE (TAV):
A true emancipation
Don't need a proclamation
The great liberation
A freedom nation

Freedom (ya mon)
Our most valuable possession
The highest life lesson
The right of self-expression

VERSE (JEWDAH):
Freedom is just a natural state of mind
When you loosen up your concepts you’re no longer blind
You might find If you read between the lines
That freedom is just a feeling working out through space and time

And you’ll be free
If you sit down and listen to me
Jewdah’s on the mic seeking harmony
Every kind of race, creed and color can see
It’s a human right protected constitutionally

CHORUS:
Freedom, We the people got
Soul, we the people got
Freedom, We the people got
Let our people go! (Libertad!)

Freedom, We the people got
Soul, we the people got
Freedom, We the people got
Let our people go! (Let our people go!)

Freedom, We the people got
Soul, we the people got
Freedom, We the people got
Let our people go! (en la alma!)

Freedom, We the people got
Soul, we the people got
Freedom, We the people got
Let our people go! (Let our people go!)

VERSE (JOSH):
Escucha gente!
Ooo, ooo
It’s the sound of true pacabras
Lingunas mas palabras entiendo candelabras
My name is joswey with the most sway
Hip hop hoosios and we’re doin’ it our own way

Now woe is me to the Cornell degree
Gonna torch every mother frickin’ SUV
Gonna slash all your tires hrouhg youre ego and greed
Exxon, Halliburton…military

It’s not written in the papers but it’s written on the walls
The way that this country’s divided to fall
The minute you turn you back you’re standing in Iraq
Modern day slaves for the GOP pack

Mexican Hesshians, heck they’re still babies
Getting’ American flag while they’re pushin’ up the daisies
Don’t call ‘em ;lazy it’s loco it’s crazy
Cannon fodder for the whims of Dick Chaney

VERSE (MAYA):

Hebrew

CHORUS:
Freedom, We the people got
Soul, we the people got
Freedom, We the people got
Let our people go! (Libertad!)

Freedom, We the people got
Soul, we the people got
Freedom, We the people got
Let our people go! (Let our people go!)

Freedom, We the people got
Soul, we the people got
Freedom, We the people got
Let our people go! (en la alma!)

Freedom, We the people got
Soul, we the people got
Freedom, We the people got
Let our people go! (Let our people go!)


OUTRO:
On the first day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free;

CHORUS:
Freedom, We the people got
Soul, we the people got
Freedom, We the people got
Let our people go! (Libertad!)

Freedom, We the people got
Soul, we the people got
Freedom, We the people got
Let our people go! (Let our people go!)

Freedom, We the people got
Soul, we the people got
Freedom, We the people got
Let our people go! (en la alma!)

Freedom, We the people got
Soul, we the people got
Freedom, We the people got
Let our people go! (Let our people go!)
