Yeah, this for the people This is street ra-dio, for unsung hero Ridin' in they regal, tryin' to stay legal My daughter found Nemo, I found the new primo Ye' you know how we do, we do it for the people And the struggles of the brothers and the folks With lovers under dope, experiment to discover hopes Scuffle for notes, the rougher I wrote, times was harder Went from rocky starter to the voice of a martyr While white folk focus on dogs and yoga My people on the low end tryin' 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', tryin' to get them custom rims Law we ain't trustin' them, thick broads we lustin' them Sick and tired of punchin' it, I look on the bus at them When I see 'em strugglin', I think how I'm touchin' them The 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 ra-dio, for unsung hero Ridin' in they regal, tryin' to stay legal My daughter found Nemo, I found the new primo Ye' 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 seems to feed me Inside peace mixed with beef 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 recognized I'm keeping my eyes on the people, that's the prize The 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 ra-dio, for unsung hero Ridin' in they regal, tryin' to stay legal My daughter found Nemo, I found the new primo Ye' 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, 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's sake The People The 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)
