Hey Y'all

Hey y'all, hey y'all

Hey y'all, hey y'all

Hey y'all, hey y'all

Hey y'all, hey y'allHey y'all, come over here, check this out

And gimme a minute of your time, but don't doubt

Anything that I tell y'all, listen up closely

It's something ghostly, my ancestors told meWay back before we walked the earth

It was so much cleaner 'cause it wasn't disturbed

But there was still hatred and strugglin' for our color

'Cause if you had nothing you were bound to smotherAnd I don't know why 'cause helping hands should be a must

It was written on the manuscript in the book you trust

Unless it's all just a way to get us arguin'

Believing what you feel even if it's a life of sinHey y'all, everybody gotta watch they back

We alone, gotta watch your back

Hey y'all, everybody gotta walk in they're own path

But at the end, you can't go backHey y'all, everybody gotta watch they back

We alone, gotta watch your back

Hey y'all, everybody gotta walk in they're own path

But at the end, you can't go backEver since there's been a jail cell, murder's been committed

'Thou shalt not kill' then who's the one sinnin'?

At the end of all of this, will they be judged?

Punished for the life they took with no grudgeNowadays, things sure ain't changed

There's a whole lot of states allowed to fry your brains

That's 'cause lately we just burn it away

Let them build they own prisons where their ass can stayIt's a wonder how we let things happen, I ain't special

But I enjoy takin' it to another level

Bad choices lead to a terrible afterlife

So just learn your wrongs from rightHey y'all, everybody gotta watch they back

We alone, gotta watch your back

Hey y'all, everybody gotta walk in they're own path

But at the end, you can't go backHey y'all, everybody gotta watch they back

We alone, gotta watch your back

Hey y'all, everybody gotta walk in they're own path

But at the end, you can't go backHey y'all, I don't mean to get ya thinkin' about

Things that's gonna get ya down and out

There just things I had to get up off my chest

'Cause I'm trying to relax and just do my bestI don't wanna take a situation and turn it upside down

I just feel this world's fuckin' around

I mean, who am I to judge?

I just, I was raised to be strong enoughHey y'all, do you understand what I'm saying?

Hey y'all, my ancestors got me down on my knees praying

Hey y'all, they keep tellin' me to spread the word

Hey y'all, 'cause when they come their gonna test what you have learnedHey y'all, everybody gotta watch they back

We alone, gotta watch your back

Hey y'all, everybody gotta walk in they're own path

But at the end, you can't go backHey y'all, everybody gotta watch they back

We alone, gotta watch your back

Hey y'all, everybody gotta walk in they're own path

But at the end, you can't go backHey y'all, hey y'all

Retaliation, what now?
