Ache'n for Acres

[Verse 1: Speech] Yes, indedy sho-nuff needy I got the feeling to stretch on out My children are cryin', my elders are dyin' And me I'm relyin' on a check for rent If I gotta be broke then it 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 Knowin' my children got land to stand on Ache'n for 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 Cause once I'm gone I wanna feel strong That my children will go on, family land and all sayin' [Refrain] I got some land to stand on no more ache'n for acres No beggin for leftovers got some space of my own I got grounds to raise on no more ache'n for acres No more giving to takers got some land to leave on [Verse 2: Speech] 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 for acres for buildin' a nation Ain't about dependin' on government spendin' Especially when the government's got a plan of their own Separate from me, separate from you Separate from most, in-sync with a few Ache'n for acres, plenty of acres My grandpa 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 you 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 [Refrain]
