The Roots — This Land Remix From The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon

[Verse 1: Black Thought] Ayy-yo, this is my land I'm right around a 20-mile marker The sky seems darker where I stand My only partner is the bullseye on my back Courtesy of an archer, a reminder that life is a limited time offer I'm young, black and a legend And considered a weapon by some Actually threatened by one African essence The real bodies are buried with the secrets in the silo For people in denial or the link is in the bio The objects in the mirror are closer than they might seem The shadow of doubt disappears at light speed Hopes and dreams crisscrossed into a tight weave rope From trees hanging since 1619 Strange the way the danger could inspire major good I play a power chord There goes the neighborhood They after me as if they wanna capture me But if they made it back to me, there'd be another casualty That's why [Verse 2: Gary Clark] Paranoid and pissed off Now that I got the money Fifty acres and a model A Right in the middle of Trump country I told you, "There goes a neighborhood" Now Mister Williams ain't so funny I see you looking out your window Can't wait to call the police on me [Pre-Chorus: Gary Clark] And I know you think I'm up to somethin' I'm just eating, now we're still hungry This is mine now, legit I ain't leaving here, you can't take it from me I remember when they used to tell me [Chorus: Gary Clark] Run, run Go back where you come from Run, run Go back where you come from We don't want, we don't want your kind We think you's a dog born I'm America's son This is where I come from This land is mine This land is mine This land is mine This land is mine [Verse 3: Gary Clark] Up 'til the sun comes up No, I can't stop grindin' And I can't let 'em break me No, I can't let 'em find me You can meet my friend the governor Only if you wanna try me Or you can meet my other friend the judge In case you think I'm lying [Pre-Chorus: Gary Clark] And I know you think I'm up to somethin' I'm just eating, now we're still hungry This is mine now, legit I ain't leaving here, you can't take it from me I remember when they used to tell me [Chorus: Gary Clark] Run, run Go back where you come from Run, run Go back where you come from We don't want, we don't want your kind We think you's a dog born I'm America's son This is where I come from This land is mine (Hey) This land is mine This land is mine (Hey) [Instrumental Bridge] [Outro: Gary Clark] (Hey) This land is mine This land is mine (Hey) This land is mine (Yeah) This land is mine This land is mine This land is mine This land is mine (Ayy)
