Let Us Live lyrics

Oh, oh, oh, oh (Just let us live here) Oh, oh ('Cause black is black) Oh, oh (Just let us live here) Oh, oh ('Cause black is black, yeah) Oh, oh It's black on black times And black on black crimes All we doin' is just killin' our own And we have learned to fight, and hate one another But let's join hands and start lovin' each other Back in the days, the man did us in We was hung, and persecuted for color of our skin But it's a new day and age, and ain't nothin' change 'Cause behind court doors, things are still the same Is the 90s now, and we are messin' the bag Killin' each other for the color of a rag? You wanna be the big man? So you dope dealin' You wanna be hardcore? So you gang bang Well, listen my brothers to the message I give It's a simple one, let my people live Oh, oh (Just let us live here) Oh, oh ('Cause black is black) Oh, oh (Just let us live here, yeah) Oh, oh ('Cause black is black, yeah) Oh, oh I still consider you as being my brother Even though, we have to kill each other 'Cause now it's time to unite And join hands in the fight So black power can emerge? And all who oppose, must be served We gotta stop the killin' amongst the own race And follow the black movement, pick up the pace 'Cause in order for this 'bout to be one We as the people must overcome Not by all means necessary You see? That's the message I carry And you know what I mean? Gemini, sing And let's get together, hey I'm tellin' everybody We gotta stop the fightin' We gotta stop the killin' We gotta stop the killin' We gotta stick together Yeah Hey everybody We gotta come together Together forever Yeah We gotta love another Love the sisters and brothers We gotta live, we gotta live Each united we stand, and stand, and stand tall It's all for one, and one for all You see, the day has finally come With my brothers and sisters that join' together as one We are the original, man, two rulers of the universe And the Asiatic black man, the creator of the earth And to our newbian queens, we give you high faith too It wouldn't be here today, if it weren't for you So as adults that take the time And educate our young like mind And teachers be proud of who they are Because, the day will come that be our shinin' star See it was ignorance, they kept us down so long So there's knowledge and strength, to make our people strong Now there's peace, love, and God bless They let the love and commit, and put the hate to rest Let us live, let us live Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh (Just let us live here) Oh, oh ('Cause black is black) Oh, oh (Just let us live here, yeah) Oh, oh ('Cause black is black, yeah) Oh, oh (Just let us live here) Oh, oh ('Cause black is black) Oh, oh (Just let us live here, yeah, yeah) Oh, oh ('Cause black is black) Oh, oh (Just let us live here) Oh, oh ('Cause black is black) Oh, oh
