[Intro]
(Let my people go)
(Let my people go)
[Verse 1: Ashley Sorrell]
Oh, first off, free Juan, free Brian, and free Jig
Behind bars, doin' bids, locked up on "he say, she say" shit
Separated from they kids, the system's sick
We guilty before we can prove our innocence
Because it's lucrative
The more bodies in cells, the more they can make sales
To get more sales, it makes no sense
And recklin' the major detention center
Won't give their inmates no heat or medical attention
They lie to the masses and downplay their livin' conditions
But steady, they buildin' more prison cells
And increasin' college tuition, closin' down neighborhood schools
They strip away tools, we're still gon' go teachin' them shit they can use
When it's all said and done
[Chorus: Ashley Sorrell & Royce da 5'9"]
Ring, ding, dong
Ring, di-ding, ding-ding, dong
The bell is ringin', the clock is tickin'
We need to change the way we livin' and how we thinkin'
Ring, ding, dong (Uh)
Ring, di-ding, ding-ding, dong
To our people on high positions
Ain't assistin' bein' a house nigga
How you a public figure only worried 'bout your figure?
Free (That's real spirit, Ash)
Let my people free (Lord, physically, spiritually)
Let my people—
(Let my people go)
(Let my people go)
