Tired people, fired people
Situation's dire, people
Ditch your chains and find your people
I love my entire people
Never spy a finer people
Ever wonder why our people
Mystify, inspire people
(Time to take them higher)
Oh, lord
Can't hardly tell what's left to show, lord
You've got to tell us where to go, lord
You've got to tell us what to do with the higher ground
If I get my payback, I won't think twice
If we survive, you better hide, better run for your life
It's been lifetimes locked up inside
So if I get my payback better
You better pray, better pray to your lord
Better pray, better pray we won't
'Cause the prey don't stay down long
Better pray, better pray we don't
Don't muck with the mired people
Quick to spot a liar people
Sell it to the buyer people
Peppy gentrifier people
Haute couture attire people
Hostile occupiers put a lien on the higher ground
(Don't back down)
If I get my payback, I won't think twice
If we survive, you better hide, better run for your life
It's been lifetimes locked up inside
So if I get my payback better

You better pray, better pray to your lord
