Lyrics
People just some property —
(That’s what they say, that’s what they say.)
People just some property —
(Lord, it ain’t right, it ain’t okay.)
Back in the day, they said a slave weren't a man,
Back in the day, Lord, said a slave weren't a man.
Laid freedom in the grave by a cruel and wicked hand—
Back in the day, they said a slave weren't a man.
Now the same old lies just wear a different face,
Yeah, the same old lies just wear a different face.
Sayin’ a human ain't a person—easy to erase—
Yeah, the same old lies just wear a different face.
People just some property —
(That’s what they say, that’s what they say.)
People just some property —
(Lord, it ain’t right, it ain’t okay.)
Mmm, the world’s gettin’ colder, love slippin’ into sin,
Yeah, the world’s gettin’ colder, love slippin’ into sin.
Ain’t no sound for the voiceless, they never get to win—
Mmm, the world’s gettin’ colder, love slippin’ into sin.
History done told us the price of stayin’ blind,
Yeah, history done told us the price of stayin’ blind.
But truth gonna rise up, angels gonna ride—
Yeah, history done told us the price of stayin’ blind.
People just some property —
(That’s what they say, that’s what they say.)
People just some property —
(Lord, it ain’t right, it ain’t okay.)
People ain't nothin but property…
Gotta wake up now, Lord, before we run out of time.
Gotta wake up now, Lord, before we run out of time.
