The foundation of the United States
Rests on the sweat of my people
Every enemy of the USA
Has had to face my people on the front lines
People, my people are dyin'
And we see it all the time

Only we can save us from us
Bring about change we will show our people love
My people, hold your head up
My people, don't get fed up
My people rise, my people fight
My people do alright
My people walk with pride and
We're marchin' side by side and
My people laugh, my people cry
My people ride and die
People, my people, keep striving
There's a greater master plan
We need to know our history
We were kings and queens of the greatest dynasty
Only we can save us from us
Bring about change we will show our people love
My people, hold your head up
My people, don't get fed up
My people rise, my people fight
My people do alright
My people walk with pride and
We're marchin' side by side and
My people laugh, my people cry
My people ride and die
My people, hold your head up
My people, don't get fed up
My people rise, my people fight
My people do alright
My people walk with pride and
We're marchin' side by side and
