Hey Ya'll   Come over here, check this out   And gimme a minute of your time, but don't doubt   Anything that I tell ya'll, listen up closely   It's something ghostly, my ancestors told me   Way 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 smother   And 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'   Believe what you want, even if it's a life of sin      (Chorus 2x)   Hey ya'll   Everybody gotta watch they back   We alone, so watch your back   Hey ya'll   Everybody gotta walk in they own path   But at the end, you can't go back      Ever since there's been a jail cell   Murder's been committed   Thou shalt not kill, and who's the one sinnin'?   At the end of all of this, will they be judged?   Punished for the life they took with no grudge   Nowadays, 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 stay   It'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 right      (Chorus 2x)   Hey ya'll   Everybody gotta watch they back   We alone, so watch your back   Hey ya'll   Everybody gotta walk in they own path   But at the end, you can't go back      Hey ya'll   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 best   I 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 enough   Hey ya'll   Do you understand what I'm saying?   Hey ya'll   My ancestors got me down on my knees prayin'   Hey ya'll   They keep tellin' me to spread the word   Hey ya'll   Cause when they come their gonna test what you have learned      (Chorus 2x)   Hey ya'll   Everybody gotta watch they back   We alone, so watch your back   Hey ya'll   Everybody gotta walk in they own path   But at the end, you can't go back      Hey ya'll   Hey ya'll!      Retaliation, what now bitch!!
