For My People lyrics

[Intro]

You know, yeah

Always wanted to have super powers

You know, uh

[Chorus]

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?

[Verse 1]

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

That's why 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

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

Life is like game of chess, don't be a pawn, my nigga

[Chorus]

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?

[Verse 2]

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 in 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

[Chorus]

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?
