The People (Explicit)

COMMON - The People

Yeah it's for the People

This is street radio for unsung heroes

Riding in they regal trying to stay legal

My daughter found Nemo I found the new primo

Yeah you know how we do we do it for the people

And the struggles of the brothers and the folks

With lovers under d**e experiment to discover hopes

Scuffle for notes the rougher I wrote times were harder

Went from rocky starter to a voice of a martyr

Why white folks focus on dogs and yoga

While people on the low end trying to ball and get over

Lyrics are like liquor for the fallen soldiers

From the bounce to the ounce its all our culture

Everyday we hustling tryna get them custom rims

Law we ain't trusting them thick broads we lust in them

Sick and tired of bunchin it I look on the bus at them

When I see them struggling I think how I'm touching them

The day has come

Now we are one

Just take your time

And then you'll find

This is street radio for unsung heroes

Riding in they regal trying to stay legal

My daughter found Nemo I found the new primo

Yeah you know how we do we do it for the people

The people said that I was sharp on TV

At the Grammy's though they tried to India Arie me

Got back stage and I bumped into Stevie

He said no matter what the people gone see me

Can't leave rap alone the streets need me

Hunger in they eyes is what seems to feed me

Inside peace mixed with beast seem to breed me

Nobody believe until I believe me

Now I'm on the rise doing business with my guys

Visions realize music affected lives

A gift from the skies to be recognize

I'm keeping my eyes on the people that's the prize

The day has come

Now we are one

Just take your time

And then you'll find

This is street radio for unsung heroes

Riding in they regal trying to stay legal

My daughter found Nemo I found the new primo

Yeah you know how we do we do it for the people

From Englewood to a single hood in Botswana

I see the I in We my ni**a yours is my drama

Standin in front of the judge with no honor

My raps ignite the people like Obama

The karma of the streets is needs and takes

Sometimes we find peace in beats and breaks

Put the bang in the back so the seats can shake

Rebel Cadillac music for the people sake

The People

The day has come

Now we are one

Just take your time

And then you'll find
