My People (Alternate Version) Lyrics

To 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

To 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 truth's 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 pedigree, 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

One time for my brothers on the grind

With love on the mind, put it all on the line

One time for my brothers on the grind

One time for my people, one time

One time for my sisters on the grind

With love on the mind, put it all on the line

One time for my sisters on the grind

One time for my people, one time

To 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

To 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 forage 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

To 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

To 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
