Man built the railroad, man got a move Man put out a record, put a needle to the groove Man been up, oh man been down Now man don't want no woman around First they stole our language Then they stole our names Then they stole the things that brought us faith And they stole our neighbors And they stole our streets And they left us to die on Rican Beach Well you can take my life But don't take my home Baby it's a solid price It comes with my bones Now all the politicians They just flap their mouths They say we'll build a wall to keep them out And all the poets were dying Of a silence disease So it happened quickly and with much ease Well you can take my life But don't take my home Baby it's a solid price It comes with my bones I may never see you again I may never see you again I'll keep fighting till the end I'll keep fighting till the end I'll keep fighting till the end I'll keep fighting till the end Till the end Till the end Till the end Till the end Till the end
