The People

This life is love this life is God this life is no regrets
This life is pain this life is work this life is blood and sweat
God told me it'd take blood sweat and tears
Trying to live that rap life, let me buzz debt and fears
Strange people start to hate, success coming near
It's a shame when we're stressed, and possessed by our fear (uh)
See it clear through the man in the mirror
Trying to make a change for everyone, not make them feel inferior

Cause I don't know if we can help or not
But I can smell the shot on the corner even before the shell could drop
Guess you gotta let your metal pop, while we watching every felon walk cause nobody ever tells the cops
Seldom caught so they're always selling rock
"Do we live in a melting pot?" is like asking if Hell is hot
Yeah we're compelled to stop, taking L's and getting locked
Cause we understand the system, but just can't connect the dots

Other people divided in the pigments of a fragment nation
I'm just a voice, a figment of your imagination
It's your choice, be different and find your aspiration
Instead of being a full trick by fascination
Train of thought, get on track, now we leave the station
Goal for 2012, better conversation
Between nations so they can make reparations
Politicians never did live up to my expectations

Feeling gifted 'cause music is more than recreation
Trying to manage my business between these celebrations
Our invention is intuition and innovation
I saw this vision in my head and now I'm on the stage
I wrote this wisdom so we can carry on through the ages
Still they always used to judge me by my age

It's a shame we ain't aware of our saviors
Some stay blind from the womb to the grave
So keep these rhymes in the tomb of the ancients
And no matter what happens, keep the faith
'Cause one day we gonna learn to save the planet, God
My kids will learn to fly to outerspace
'Cause they keep you trapped inside metal cages
So take these bars, break them down, and we'll escape

And if the evils make you start to hate your peoples
Just remember God is love and you'll be safe
