Real People |
| Real People walk in the streets, the streets is talkin' |
| Often it’s beef this city never does |
| People walk and talk in they sleep |
| Cold sweats and wet dreams |
| On how to get green our faith is all in a jeep |
| Black souls raw and they deep |
| Hypes tryna talk with no teeth |
| Shorties sayin' ball or retreat |
| A lesson we all speak at one point or another |
| What you expect from one who smoke a joint with his mother |
| Anointed hustlers in a fatherless region |
| Through the pain wish they know that God was just teachin' |
| We want decent homes |
| So dreams we say out loud like speakerphones just to keep em on |
| It’s like a colored song that keep keepin' on |
| I guess knowin' I’m weak is when I’m really bein' strong |
| Somehow through the dust I could see the dawn |
| Like the Bishop Magic Juan, that’s why I write freedom songs |
| For the real people |
| I wonder if the spirits of Bob Marley and Haile Selassie |
| Watch me as the cops be tryna and pop and lock me |
| They cocky, plus they mentality is Nazi |
| The way they treat blacks I wanna snap like paparazzi |
| We’re the children of a better God searchin' for better jobs |
| We could cop ghetto cars tryin' not to catch a charge |
| They say the dope game is sour |
| Now they doin' homework that’s when they follow you for hours |
| Come to your crib and devour all that you work for |
| Must be more than paper these niggas hurt for |
| Through the purple haze I circle days I rhyme that work for pays |
| Tryna reverse the slave’s mind and insert the brave mentality |
| Heard that it’s drama at home |
| Can a dude break free and still get honored at home |
| I was told by a chief it’s the games nature |
| When you’re glowin' some will love and some will hate ya |
| It’s real people |
| Black men walking wit white girls on they arms |
| I be mad at 'em as if I know they moms |
| Told to go beyond the surface, a person’s a person |
| When we lessen our women our condition seems to worsen |
| The weary cursin' the sky, talkin' to themselves |
| Givin' the version of why help and hurt in they eye |
| I live across from it, some of it I do be in |
| I be showin' niggas lives like UBN, It’s real people |
| Yeah |
| For you and yours |
| G.O.O.D. |
| Music |
| Forever |
| Yeah |
| Rock on |
| We keep on |
| Uh. |
| Yeah |
| Yeah, yeah |
| The real… |
