Yes, indedy sho-nuff needy
|
I got the feeling to stretch on out
|
my children are cryin' my elders are dying.
|
& me I'm relying on a check for rent
|
if I gotta be broke then ain't no joke
|
I'm moving to the country and buying some land
|
And I'll be alright if I can rest at night
|
knowing my children got land to stand on.
|
Ache'n 4 acres plenty of acres
|
money spent in rent ain't earning me cent.
|
Ain't gettin no caddy, no Benz, no jeep.
|
until I got some $ for some land to keep
|
no more children crying instead they'll be running
|
running free and wild in the heat of the sun.
|
cuz once I'm gone I wanna feel strong
|
that my children will go on, family land and all sayin'
|
|
I got some land to stand on no more ache'n 4 acres
|
no beggin for leftovers got some space of my own
|
I got grounds to raise on no more ache'n 4 acres
|
no more giving to takers got some land to leave on!
|
|
No more elders passin' without my kids askin'
|
papa who's tombstones are those in the yard
|
Family gotta stay close all of us gotta stay close
|
Ache'n 4 acres 4 buildin' a nation.
|
Ain't about depending on government spendin'
|
especially when the government's got a plan of their own
|
separate from me-separate from U
|
separate from most-in sync with a few.
|
Ache'n 4 acres plenty of acres
|
my grandpappa had em all but he lost em & he sold em
|
the cities were a growin' and grandpa's getting older
|
little did he know that his land was valuable
|
Got land to stand on then U can stand up!
|
stand up for your rights as a woman, as a man
|
man O' man my choices expand
|
Ain't got me no money but I got me some land
|
