FOR MY PEOPLE |
You know, yeah |
Always wanted to have super powers |
You know, uh |
This for my people, tryna stay alive and just stay peaceful |
So hard to survive a world so lethal |
Who will take a stand and be our hero, of my people, yeah? |
This for my people |
Tryna stay alive and just stay peaceful |
So hard to survive a world so lethal |
Who will take a stand and be our hero? |
Uh, now all heroes don’t wear capes |
And all villains don’t get away |
But all limits eventually fade |
I don’t wanna be good, nigga, I’m tryna be great |
It’s hard when your back’s against the wall |
And if you got it all to keep your feet up on the floor |
So I thank the Lord when I wake up in the morn' |
'Cause to inform the world the very reason I was born |
You can see the power when the mic is in my palm |
When I storm across the room, hit the stage and perform |
Word is bond, don’t be alarmed |
Don’t let me have to sound the horn, and drop a bomb |
Wanna get my mom a crib, with a lawn |
Somethin' that my future kids, can run up on |
So I always do my best to carry on |
Life is like game of chess, don’t be a pawn, my nigga |
This for my people, tryna stay alive and just stay peaceful |
So hard to survive a world so lethal |
Who will take a stand and be our hero, of my people, yeah? |
This for my people |
Tryna stay alive and just stay peaceful |
So hard to survive a world so lethal |
Who will take a stand and be our hero? |
Look up in the sky, it’s a bird, it’s a plane |
No, it’s the young black god livin' out his dreams |
What you mean? |
I been up on an ultralight beam |
They don’t wanna see you fly, they just gonna shoot your wings |
Everything ain’t what it seem |
Wishin' all these dirty cops, would come clean |
Still swervin' on these city blocks, for one thing |
My man just copped a 30 shot, protect the team, know what I mean? |
Music is a form of expression |
I’ma use mine just to teach you a lesson |
Rule one: this microphone’s a weapon |
I’m shootin' out the actions manifested and my passion |
Never restin', I’m surpassin' the expectancy |
Of life in my direction |
Man the section 8 depressin' |
Hard to be progressin' through recession and oppression |
Not to mention that they had us cell blocked ever since an adolescent |
This for my people, tryna stay alive and just stay peaceful |
So hard to survive a world so lethal |
Who will take a stand and be our hero, of my people, yeah? |
This for my people |
Tryna stay alive and just stay peaceful |
So hard to survive a world so lethal |
Who will take a stand and be our hero? |
Oh, yeah |
Oh, mm |
Oh, yeah |
