The People
Empowering Unity: The Essence of BJ the Chicago Kid's 'The People'
Lyrics
We've got to get stronger
We need to become more resilient and powerful.
Stronger as a people
Stronger together as a collective group of people.
We've got to get smarter
It's essential to become more intelligent and wise.
Smarter as a unit
Increasing our intelligence as a unified entity.
And watch out for our children
We must protect and care for our children because they represent our future.
Because they are our future
Children symbolize the future generation and our legacy.
Appreciate our women
We should show gratitude and value our women as they play a crucial role in our lives by nurturing and sustaining us.
Because they bear our food yeah
Women are responsible for nurturing and providing sustenance through food.
My sister, my brother
Emphasizing the familial bond and unity among siblings.
We need to understand the strength and love us
We must comprehend and embrace the power of love within ourselves.
With our head up, chest out, standing tall
Encouraging confidence, self-assurance, and pride in oneself.
And to be free like we want to be, yeah baby
Striving for freedom and autonomy.
Say we got to stop hatred from within y'all
Rejecting internal animosity and hostility among each other.
Be better with our money
Improving financial management and responsibility.
That's the only way we get the land y'all
Acquiring property and ownership through financial empowerment.
Learn how to work it until it's smoother
Refining our skills and efforts until they become effortless and more efficient.
And if they ask if we gone stop we'll say hell no
Refusing to halt progress despite external pressures.
My sister, my brother
Reiteration of the familial bond and unity among siblings.
We've come a long way
Recognizing the progress made but acknowledging there's still a considerable distance to cover.
And still got far to go
Despite progress, there's a considerable journey ahead.
Oh ask me and I'll say
Expressing a willingness to provide information or perspective if asked.
The children will take us where we want to go
Belief that the younger generation will lead us to our desired destination.
Because our grandparents told us so
Referencing the wisdom passed down by grandparents.
Don't you know the stars are just aligning
Implies that favorable circumstances or events are occurring.
My presentation
Possibly a statement regarding the conclusion or delivery of a presentation.
