(chorus)

We don't mind

see we been doin' it all the time

but if you want us to sacrifice

you will not get it without a price

we don't mind

see we been doin' it all the time

but if you want us to sacrifice

you gotta give something back to life



You think I'm vulnerable to your pressure tactics

because I shed a tear, 'cause I shed a tear

you think I'm vulnerable to your violence

just 'cause I'm sittin' here

but my babies came into this world

without a single fear, say they had no fear

'cause the seven generations before me

they all fought to get us here

(chorus)



You can't just come in here like that no more

and snatch up your childhood

you can't just walk on up

and replace it yo, with your Hollywood

but I see now

how all of the words I say you'll take and misconstrue

and I'm prepared now

to suffer the penalties for speakin' the truth

and I speak the truth when I say

(chorus)



People if you hear me now I wantcha to say

naa, na-naa, na-naa, naah

people if you hear me now I wantcha to say

naa, na-naa, na-naa, naah
