Give My People Back

(album: La Petite Mort Or A Conversation With God - 2016)

Devil take my hand pen me out some words that will make them understand
Understand what Hell is like
Devil use my voice try and explain to them that I didn't have a choice
It was my life or its their life
Cause they have never had a knife in their skin or a bullet hit them or a friend die in the pen
And they have never slept outside in the cold lied cheated and stole and begged for it to end

When the wind blows it hurts
When they touch me its worse
Tell me whats this all worth
Because Hell is hot and I'm not fit for life on earth

Go to Hell and I tell 'em give my people back
Devil man this I ask you give my people back
All I've done wasn't fun I think you owe me that
March through Hell and I came to take my people back

Givem back now

Woman take your hands press them both together and pray to the man
Pray for his forgiveness
You can't help who you love
Ask that when you go that he lets you up above
So that he don't punish both of us

Because you have never put a gun on a man
squeezed as many times as you can until it locks up and jams
And you ain't ever went to Hell and made a deal
seen that he was real and been a part of his plan

When the wind blows it hurts
When they touch me its worse
Tell me whats this all worth
Cause Hell is hot and I'm not fit for life on earth

Go to Hell and I tell 'em give my people back
Devil man this I ask you give my people back
All I've done wasn't fun I think you owe me that
March through Hell and I came to take my people back

Go to Hell and I tell 'em give my people back
Devil man this I ask you give my people back
All I've done wasn't fun I think you owe me that
March through Hell and I came to take my people back

Givem back now
Givem back now

All my Brothers doing years off in prison
Or those who spend their lives in the system
(Givem back now)
Those wishing they had a life worth living
or those who are enslaved by religion
(Givem back now)
All the children who were born without a chance
I'm one of you for everything its worth
(Givem back now)
Who sit in silence cuz the faintest sound hurts
Hell is hot and I'm not fit for life on earth

Go to Hell and I tell 'em give my people back
Devil man this I ask you give my people back
All I've done wasn't fun I think you owe me that
March through Hell and I came to take my people back

Go to Hell and I tell 'em give my people back
Devil man this I ask you give my people back
All I've done wasn't fun I think you owe me that
March through Hell and I came to take my people back

Givem back now
Givem back now
We fight and we don't back down
