VERSE
They're trying hard to put me in my place
And that is why I gotta keep running
The future's mine and it's no disgrace
Cos in the end the past means nothing
You tell me I'm free then you tie me down
D'you feel a little down today?
Bet you ain't got much to say?
You're gonna miss me when I'm not there
understand)
And you know I don't care, you know I don't care
As we beg and steal and borrow
Life is hit and miss and this
I hope, I think, I know
And if I ever hear the names you call
If I stumble catch me when I fall
Cos baby after all, you'll never forget my name
Then return back to the CHORUS.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
Step off the train alone at dawn
Back into the hole where I was born
The sun in the sky never raised an eye to me
The blood on the trax must be mine
The fool on the hill and I feel fine
Don't look back cos' you know what you might see
Look into the wall of my mind's eye
I think I know but I don't know why
The questions are the answers you might need
Coming in a mess going out in style
I ain't good looking but I'm someones child
No-one can give me the air that's mine to breathe
I met my maker I made him cry
And on my shoulder he asked me why
His people won't fly through the storm
I said: Listen up man they don't even know you're born
Chorus
All my people right here right now
D'you know what I mean?
All my people right here right now
D'you know what I mean?
All my people right here right now
D'you know what I mean?
yeah yeah
Verse3
I don't really care for what you believe
So open up your fist or you won't recieve
The thoughts are the words of every man you 'll need
So get up of the floor and believe in life
No-one's ever gonna ask you twice
Get on the bus and bring it home to me
I met my maker I made him cry
And on my shoulder he asked me why
His people won't fly through the storm
I said: Listen up man they don't even know you're born
Chorus
All my people right here right now
D'you know what I mean?
All my people right here right now
D'you know what I mean?
All my people right here right now
D'you know what I mean?
yeah yeah
(repeat twice)
