Lyrics
You ain't got nothing if you don't have love have love
You possess nothing meaningful without love.
All my people marching with their hands up hey
People are rallying with their hands raised.
For my sisters and bruddas who getting banged up
For siblings and friends experiencing incarceration.
Time's up freedom ain't free you better stand up hey
Time is running out, and freedom requires action.
And hold on just a likkle longer
Encouragement to persevere a bit longer.
Anything that doesn't kill you is making you stronger stronger
Adversity only makes you stronger.
I feel your pain you keeping it locked up
Empathy for someone keeping their pain hidden.
But when we stick together ain't nothing can stop us stop us
Unity prevents anything from impeding progress.
Oyemide aye ole oh
Encouragement to hold on a bit longer through repetition.
