Letras de My People - Angie Stone, James Ingram

My People (original)

My people!
Yeah!
My people!
Yeah!
The foundation of the United States
Rests on the sweat of my people
Every enemy of the USA
Has had to face my people on the front lines
People, my people are dyin'
And we see it all the time
Don’t know where our future would be
If he’s not here, how do we stay strong?
Only we can save us from us
Bring about change we will show our people love
My people, hold your head up
My people, don’t get fed up
My people rise, my people fight
My people do alright
My people walk with pride and
We’re marchin' side by side and
My people laugh, my people cry
My people ride and die
People, my people, keep striving
There’s a greater master plan
We need to know our history
We were kings and queens of the greatest dynasty
Only we can save us from us
Bring about change we will show our people love
My people, hold your head up
My people, don’t get fed up
My people rise, my people fight
My people do alright
My people walk with pride and
We’re marchin' side by side and
My people laugh, my people cry
My people ride and die
My people, hold your head up
My people, don’t get fed up
My people rise, my people fight
My people do alright
My people walk with pride and
We’re marchin' side by side and
My people laugh, my people cry
My people ride and die
Who are my people?

¡Mi gente!
¡Sí!
¡Mi gente!
¡Sí!
La fundación de los Estados Unidos
Descansa en el sudor de mi pueblo
Todos los enemigos de los EE. UU.
Ha tenido que enfrentarse a mi gente en el frente
Gente, mi gente se está muriendo
Y lo vemos todo el tiempo
No sé dónde estaría nuestro futuro
Si él no está aquí, ¿cómo nos mantenemos fuertes?
Solo nosotros podemos salvarnos de nosotros
Traer cambios, mostraremos amor a nuestra gente
Mi gente, levanta la cabeza
mi gente no se cansen
Mi pueblo se levanta, mi pueblo lucha
Mi gente lo hace bien
Mi pueblo camina con orgullo y
Estamos marchando lado a lado y
Mi gente ríe, mi gente llora
Mi gente cabalga y muere
Gente, mi gente, sigan esforzándose
Hay un gran plan maestro
Necesitamos conocer nuestra historia
Éramos reyes y reinas de la dinastía más grande
Solo nosotros podemos salvarnos de nosotros
Traer cambios, mostraremos amor a nuestra gente
Mi gente, levanta la cabeza
mi gente no se cansen
Mi pueblo se levanta, mi pueblo lucha
Mi gente lo hace bien
