My People (Special Version) Lyrics

What you've got to do right now is free your mind

'cause your future is on the line

While history doesn't repeat itself, it often rhymes

For my people who've been stuck in the grind

Living life one rhyme at a time

When it comes to that moment of truth

Make sure that the moment's for you

For my people who've been stuck in the grind

Living life one rhyme at a time

When it comes to that moment of truth

Make sure that the moment's for you

Do or die, my crew arrives and the truths revived

Give me the loot and I execute like the noose is tied

Real Gs are endangered, only a few alive

Overly scrutinised coz our love is supersized

Eric B predigree, steadily check my melody

It's incredibly heavenly, to the haters, well c'est la vie

Killing it, verily, verify my telemetry

You'll see my ambition's the only thing that's ahead of me

Working overtime to relax with the fam

While trying to survive getting taxed by the man

You're trying to hold water but there's cracks in the dam

The world could be your oyster but you're trapped in a clam

But wait, that's not the fate of people who stay true

To who they really are, they're destined to break through

Integrity and excellence is honouring God

And inspiration to man to get us out of the fog

For my people who've been stuck in the grind

Living life one rhyme at a time

When it comes to that moment of truth

Make sure that the moment's for you

For my people who've been stuck in the grind

Living life one rhyme at a time

When it comes to that moment of truth

Make sure that the moment's for you

It's the information age, and it's a knowledge economy

Those with a monopoly try to lock us in poverty

To witness the hypocrisy of the gods on my odyssey

It's not a shock to me that my honesty's an anomaly

This is the picture I'm afforded by the screens

We're interdependent like a florist with the bees

You let your son flower and you forrage for the seeds

Sometimes they just can't see the forest for the trees

It's complicated like conversations when condom breakage

leads to concentration on Auntie Flow coming kind of late and

You contemplate and debate on finding a common place

And it culminates in contempt for the way you connotate it

Searching for peace now with each endeavour

Wealth's a long puzzle we can piece together

Til we're flying first class just to beat the weather

'cause yeah, the city's cool but the beach is better

For my people who've been stuck in the grind

Living life one rhyme at a time

When it comes to that moment of truth

Make sure that the moment's for youFor my people who've been stuck in the grind

Living life one rhyme at a time

When it comes to that moment of truth

Make sure that the moment's for you
