The People Lyrics

Common

Yeah, this is for the people
This is street radio for unsung hero Ridin' in the Regal, tryin' 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 struggle of the brothas and the folks With lovers under dope, experiments to discover hopes Scuffle for notes, the rougher I wrote, times was harder Went from rock star to the voice of a martyr
Why white folk focus on dogs and yoga While people on the low end try to ball and get over Lyrics are like liquor for the fallen soldiers From the bounce to the ounce, it's all our culture
Everyday, we hustlin', tryna get them custom rims Law, we ain’t trustin' them, thick broads, we lust in 'em Sick and tired of bunchin' it, I look on the bus at 'em When I see them struggling, I think how I’m touchin' 'em
Good days have come (It's about the people) Now we are one (It's about the people)
Just take your time (It's about the people) And then you’ll find (It's about the people)
This is street radio for unsung hero Ridin' in the Regal, tryin' 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 gon' see me"
Can’t leave rap alone, the streets need me Hunger in they eyes is what seem to feed me Inside, peace mixed with beast seem to breed me Nobody believe until I believe me
Now I’m on the rise, doin' 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
Good days have come (It's about the people) Now we are one (It's about the people)
Just take your time (It's about the people) And then you’ll find (It's about the people)
This is street radio for unsung hero Ridin' in the Regal, tryin' 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 nigga, yours is my drama Standin' in front of the judge with no honor Barack stick, knight, 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
Good days have come (It's about the people) Now we are one (It's about the people)
Just take your time (It's about the people) And then you’ll find (It's about the people)
