Yeah,
it's strictly for my
people right here.
Nobody else.
So if you don't get it,
don't worry about it.
Here we go.
I do it for my people,
like David D Goliath.
Off with your head,
everybody start a riot.
Sick an d tired of excuses,
people get your shit together.
All you really needed was food,
clothing, shelter
My people at the exit
with that cardboard sign
The world still a ghetto,
and we know it's by design
But my people, I'ma shine,
ambition in my eyes
Like Roscoe P. Coltrane,
my haters look surprised
Surprised, surprised,
like cream of the crop, see I rise
I still found truth, even though you lied
They tried and tried,
but we didn't die, we multiplied
Like put me and niggas inside,
where you gon' run,
where you gon' hide?
From my people,
sometimes, they act like beasts
Who raised you motherfuckers,
killin' your own in the streets
Oh, you don't thank God?
See, oh, I forgot you don't care
That's right, you don't thank shit, stink,
until they give you that shit
Every time I write,
it be for my people
And every time I rap,
it be for my people
And every time I sing,
it be for my people
And every time I dream,
it be for my people
And everything I think about,
be for my people
And every time I shine,
it be for my people
I do it for the good, it be for my people
I do it for the hood,
it be for my people
Black people, incarceration,
protestin'
Across the na tion, emancipation,
proclamation
More time is what we facin'
Been a hundred years, no reparation
No fault of acres, no one nation
No nigga in my situation
is secure with the occupation
So strategize, monetize,
emphasize for the green guys
Pass the time on the grind,
gotta have mine, it's my time
We all signed to one line,
to one sign to start
up the re volution
It's a constitution
I don't like,
it's not right for my people
I'm all in for my people,
in the courthouse for my people
Go dirty south for my people,
I split you in for my people
Represent it, got a problem with it
Did the business, I'm up in it
Ways deep,
two days with no sleep
Every time I write, it be for my people
And every time I rap, it be for my people
And every time I sing, it be for my people
And every time I dream,
it be for my people
And everything I think about,
be for my people
And every time I shine,
it be for my people
I do it for the good,
it be for my people
I do it for the hood,
it be for my people
Now a revolution, if done right
It won't be a rumor that's repeated
And it most certainly won't
be televised
Snapchatted or tweeted
Any admission is essentially
asking for permission
An easy way to know you're ETA
Cause just like we listen, shit he listen
And it's poised and propagated
But no problem is solved
You see the difference
between a killing and a murder
Is the emotion involved
And yet there is harsh reality
to reflect your claim
But when you're angry,
it only af fects your aim
So talking is like a tantrum,
and your gunfire's random
I'll write a revolution down on paper,
brandishing my handgun
See, you need to either kill something,
destroy something,
or rebuild something
Move something massive,
or the whole protest is passive
Every time I write, it be for my people
And every time I rap, it be for my people
And every time I sing,
it be for my people
And every time I dream,
it be for my people
And everything I think about,
be for my people
And every time I shine,
it be for my people
I do it for the good,
it be for my people
I do it for the hood,
it be for my people
Do it for my people,
like Ali Pad and Jose
I do it for my people
Like Camden Road and Oak City,
I do it for my people
These streets raised me,
these streets paid me
I do it for the people
With key fob on the plumb floor
Chair keys my nigga tore
Walking off of my rest floor
I do it for the people
I'm trying to wake up the sheeple
My life's doggone
Can't do it for the people
Frontline with the people
Goodie Mob
