How can you stub me
Six times and tell me not to bleed
I bleed blood, thick clot
Mixed with sweat, ejected from pores
I am with value
Bestowed on me from birth
Just before my umbilical cord
Separates me from mother
You see, tell the suppressors
We are not people of class or race, religion
We are people of conciousness
Intelligence, we are earth people
We are people of reason
We are the movement without borders
Voices, free voices, for the rights of man
For the child that bleeds, for the riches of greed
We are charity of reason, opened doors in hall ways conciousness
And we bleed blood, so we feel their pain
We match a mile, in miles, on miles for the reason
And know to raise our voice for the course
How can you tell me not to bleed
When I can sense their pain
Hear their cry, sympathise with reason
We are earth people, we bleed for the course
Six times and tell me not to bleed
I bleed blood, thick clot
Mixed with sweat, ejected from pores
I am with value
Bestowed on me from birth
Just before my umbilical cord
Separates me from mother
You see, tell the suppressors
We are not people of class or race, religion
We are people of conciousness
Intelligence, we are earth people
We are people of reason
We are the movement without borders
Voices, free voices, for the rights of man
For the child that bleeds, for the riches of greed
We are charity of reason, opened doors in hall ways conciousness
And we bleed blood, so we feel their pain
We match a mile, in miles, on miles for the reason
And know to raise our voice for the course
How can you tell me not to bleed
When I can sense their pain
Hear their cry, sympathise with reason
We are earth people, we bleed for the course
