Real People

[Intro]

Yeah, yeah, you know how me and Ye do

Huh, yeah

[Verse 1]

Real People walk in the streets, the streets is talkin'

Often it's beef this city never does

People walk and talk in they sleep

Cold sweats and wet dreams

On how to get green, our faith is all in a jeep

Black souls raw and they deep

Hypes tryna talk with no teeth

Shorties sayin' ball or retreat

A lesson we all speak at one point or another

What you expect from one who smoke a joint with his mother?

Anointed hustlers in a fatherless region

Through the pain, wish they know that God was just teachin'

We want decent homes

So dreams we say out loud like speakerphones just to keep 'em on

It's like a colored song that keep keepin' on

I guess knowin' I'm weak is when I'm really bein' strong

Somehow through the dust I could see the dawn

Like the Bishop Magic Juan, that's why I write freedom songs

For the real people

[Verse 2]

I wonder if the spirits of Bob Marley and Haile Selassie

Watch me as the cops be tryna pop and lock me

They cocky, plus they mentality is Nazi

The way they treat blacks, I wanna snap like paparazzi

We're the children of a better God, searchin' for better jobs

We could cop ghetto cars, tryin' not to catch a charge

They say the dope game is sour

Now they doin' homework, that's when they follow you for hours

Come to your crib and devour all that you work for

Must be more than paper these niggas hurt for

Through the purple haze, I circle days, I rhyme that work for pays

Tryna reverse the slave's mind and insert the brave mentality

Heard that it's drama at home

Can a dude break free and still get honoured at home?

I was told by a chief it's the game's nature

When you're glowin' some will love and some will hate ya

It's real people

[Verse 3]

Black men walking wit' white girls on they arms

I be mad at 'em as if I know they moms

Told to go beyond the surface, a person's a person

When we lessen our women, our conditions seem to worsen

The weary cursin' the sky, talkin' to themselves

Givin' the version of why help and hurt in they eye

I live across from it, some of it I do be in

I be showin' niggas lives like UPN, it's real people

[Outro]

Yeah

For you and yours

G.O.O.D. Music

Forever

Yeah

Rock on

We keep on

Uh...

Yeah

Yeah, yeah

Uh, yeah

The real...
