My People - Raz Simone

And I vow to tell the truth, Imma always stay honest in the booth

(Cuz you’re my people)

I said things you don’t wanna hear, always out of love cuz I care

(Cuz you’re my people)

(Cuz you’re my people)

(Cuz you’re my people)

I speak for those who can’t speak

I stand up for those who don’t have feet

The nerds, the dweebs, the geeks

The popular kids who have lower self-esteem than the people they pick on every

week

The dope dealers and junkies

The hoes and pimps with the money

Kids with the emptiest tummies

The ones with bullshit in their tummies

All the lil niggas that just got hit with 5 years

So my mother wouldn’t be the first to cry tears

When I was locked away I overcame my fears

But then my heart hurt when I thought about my peers

All the family I wouldn’t be able to be there for for 5 years

The light bills and pay the rent

I couldn’t help but make this song my fans will never get to play

In a word where rappers only looks at fans as pay

How could I lay?

How could I sleep

When there’s way to much unjust to just adjust to the realities of being stuck

So, I like my music to be free, so even if your broke you can sing

(Cuz you’re my people)

And I vow to tell the truth, Imma always stay honest in the booth

(Cuz you’re my people)

I said things you don’t wanna hear, always out of love cuz I care

(Cuz you’re my people)

(Cuz you’re my people)

(Cuz you’re my people)

In my home they keep calling me king

I don’t know how I feel or even how I’m supposed to think

That’s a heavy weight, I guess that keeps me grounded while my head inflates

Being the hottest rapper doesn’t make you king to set the record straight

All the starstruck fans with their arms up

Don’t know how close I keep them in my heart but

My people I’ve told you you keep me alive it’s so true

Feeding my spirit every day, soul food

He told me he hasn’t been moved by rap since 2Pac Shakur

Then he heard my music, and it struck a chord

I know I’ve been through all this shit in my life for something lord

We both unknowingly picked eachother up from the floor

They say that all is fair when it comes to love and war

If you didn’t want full contact go and choose another sport

I jump into the crowd just so I can touch this more

Have full faith in my people, the ones who help support

So, I like my music to be free, so even if your broke you can sing

(Cuz you’re my people)

And I vow to tell the truth, Imma always stay honest in the booth

(Cuz you’re my people)

I said things you don’t wanna hear, always out of love cuz I care

(Cuz you’re my people)

(Cuz you’re my people)

(Cuz you’re my people)
