Tonalidad: G minor
Verse 1
Em
Let my people go
My people are gripped by
B
Em
passion and greed
It's got them chasing the dragon
at a rational speed
So now they confuse any wants
with actual needs
And even imaginary stats
and factual deeds
We're stacking the cheese
but failing to react to the ease
Of which our predators
extract what they please
They say it'll increase your revenue
but for a percentage like
The credit card companies
discharging you interest
When APR's based on race
that'll vary the balance on your soul
Too heavy for you to carry
Finite numbers of dollars
you gotta compete for
Devil sold you a dream
that you ain't got a receipt for
Industry hookers and the labels to John
Who bought you with the promise
that you'll be labeled a Don
We on the auction blocks
but we don't owe that
Am
Em
So brothers got the price tag
hanging off their throat
Let go!
I can't believe the people from
out here lying in confusion
D
When I know what I want
B
Escape from illusion
Em
where the vampire
one feet up on higher man
Escape separation and pollution
D
Em
here in a dissonation
B
Am
We want elevation, not destruction,
Em
we halt your creation
It's another deniable fact
that I'm black
B
Em
Africa runs through my veins like Mo
Green runs through Finnish lines on tracks
So why is it that my own people
question the way that I act
Or say that I lack what it takes to be real
Man, how the heck you think
that's making me feel?
I don't want to act fake
just to make me appeal to
the thug mentality
That's not my reality,
why I gotta be the cat
to prove his nationality
I mean my pops came from a block
with drugs and guns
He made it out the hood
to make a change for his sons
I mean, he wanted the best for all of his kids
So we could be number one
and do the things he never did
The path to black achievement is narrow
But I'ma keep it on point like an arrow
And soar high like a sparrow
And then keep on building
B
till my children break glass ceilings
Am
Em
And make beams and put our names
on skyscraper buildings
Let go! the people from Babylon,
the confusion,
D
we not know what's at work
Em
B
Let go! Escape from illusion,
Em
where the vampire one feet upon Iron Man
Let go! Escape separation and pollution,
D
here in our dissonation
Em
B
Let go! We want elevation,
Am
not destruction,
Em
we urge our creation
We got a deep fascination
with the glamorous
Infatuation with the romantic
and the amorous
Drawn to where the drama is
After these words from our sponsors
Designed to trigger hormonal
responses
B
Program slaves to supply and demand
Em
With urges to go on splurges
that we don't understand
Commercial cannibalism
and you won't survive it
Chasing notes,
this legal tender for debts,
public and private
A large percentage of our people
B
are sickened from venom
Em
That was put in them by the enemy
Slick tactics and giving
in the form of misinformation
Combined with ill living
and sinful misgivings
Embedded in minds from the beginning
We sitting on our heads
while they winning and grinning
We leaning and spinning,
killing our women and children
We should be building
instead of this guilty living
B
Leavin' an empty feeling,
Am
Em
keepin' it real when I say,
we need a healin'
Let go! We need the people from Babylon,
the confusion,
D
we nah know what a gwaan
Em
B
Let go! Escape from illusion,
Em
where the vampire one fit upon Ironman
Let go! Escape separation and pollution,
D
here in a dissonation
Em
B
Let go! We want elevation,
Am
not destruction,
Em
we all Jah creation
