FOR MY PEOPLE

You know

Yeah

Always wanted to have super powers

You know, uh

It’s for my people, tryin’ to stay alive and just stay peaceful

So hard to survive a world so lethal

Who will take a stand and be our hero?

For my people, yeah

It’s for my people, tryin’ to 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, ****, I’m tryin’ to be great

It’s hard when your back’s against the wall

And if you got it all, then keep your feet up on the floor

That’s why I thank the Lord when I wake up in the morn’

‘Cause through Him, feel the word of every 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 make me have to send him home, and drop a bomb

Want to get my mom a crib, with a lawn

Something that my future kids can run up on

That’s why I always do my best to carry on

Life is like game of chess, don’t be a pawn, my ****

It’s for my people, tryin’ to stay alive and just stay peaceful

So hard to survive a world so lethal

Who will take a stand and be our hero?

For my people, yeah

It’s for my people, tryin’ to 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

Everyday the world has seen

Wishing all these dirty cops, would come clean

Still swerving on these city blocks, for one thing

I may just cop the 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 in my passion

Effervescent and surpassing, they expect to see a life in my direction

Man, that section 8 depressin’

Hard to be progression through recession and oppression

Not to mention that the had our soul blocked ever since an adolescent

It’s for my people, tryin’ to stay alive and just stay peaceful

So hard to survive a world so lethal

Who will take a stand and be our hero?

For my people, yeah

It’s for my people, tryin’ to stay alive and just stay peaceful

So hard to survive a world so lethal

Who will take a stand and be our hero?
