作词 : Jackson Turner 作曲 : Jackson Turner Oh my people oh Hard to see where to go We're too deep in the hole On this steep crooked road we move So light your lighters for the youth All that glitters ain't gold Oh my people oh Hard to see where to go We're too deep in the hole On this steep crooked road we move So shine your light up for the youth All that glitters ain't gold Too many still suffer from misery Up in a prison or stuck in a tenement dead ended home Ghetto veterans of where they're from Too many killed up in a system with nothing to live for We need to protect ourselves and get us some growth They try to privilege only the few Too many lost Some are confused on how to get through Just trying to have food so they could be full Others take what they can't use What will it cost For people to wake up end beef with their neighbor And become a beacon of truth Peaceful life for every youth So many voices go unamplified Something that lots of people can't deny They say they hands are tied man they lie Out of sight out of mind All that matters is the bottom line Every dollar sign if you sign on the dotted line In these modern times With our nine to fives college Alma Mater lives trying to monetize I see hunger on the rise Underneath they smiles be advised Nothing come for free We free our minds Oh my people oh Hard to see where to go We're too deep in the hole On this steep crooked road we move So light your lighters for the youth All that glitters ain't gold Oh my people oh Hard to see where to go We're too deep in the hole On this steep crooked road we move So shine your light up for the youth All that glitters ain't gold From the separation of every separate nation We have a reputation of never becoming whole For whatever reason no justification Some are just impatient always something to prove Through this suffocation we suffer but we face them With my lungs I breathe Welcome my brother home To our destination We won't rest till day come Hold on to your faith I see a better tomorrow I seen families divided faces filled with tears Little killers walk with nine millimeters still in PS Willie Lynch mob Dillingers and filthy billionares Inner city killing fields Trying to figure who the villain is You see the scape goat isn't always who we think Steal a little bit they lock you in a prison Stand on top they'll call you king It's hard to swallow all the things that we get caught up in From Baltimore to Port A Prince it's all the same Oh my people oh Hard to see where to go We're too deep in the hole On this steep crooked road we move So light your lighters for the youth All that glitters ain't gold Oh my people oh Hard to see where to go We're too deep in the hole On this steep crooked road we move So shine your light up for the youth All that glitters ain't gold Too many still suffer from misery Up in a prison or stuck in a tenement dead ended home Ghetto veterans of where they're from Too many killed up in a system with nothing to live for We need to protect ourselves and get us some growth They try to privilege only the few Too many lost Some are confused on how to get through Just trying to have food so they could be full Others take what they can't use What will it cost For people to wake up end beef with their neighbor And become a beacon of truth Peaceful life for every youth I seen mothers stuck injecting drugs instead of love Are drugs all thats left of us I go against the clutch I fight with every muscle every brush stroke I ever touched Each lesson that I learned This breath that's in my gut I won't give up until my lungs have opened up They choked me out with smoke and tried to sow them shut Plus they're poisoning our food Don't forget the truth You have to choose What we have to loose isn't too much Oh my people oh Hard to see where to go We're too deep in the hole On this steep crooked road we move So light your lighters for the youth All that glitters ain't gold Oh my people oh Hard to see where to go We're too deep in the hole On this steep crooked road we move So shine your light up for the youth All that glitters ain't gold
