    Louder, louder,
    louder, louder, louder, louder
    louder, louder, Yeah

    Yeah, it's for the People

    This is street ra-dio, for unsung heroes
    Ridin in they regal, tryin to stay legal
    My daughter found Nemo, I found the new primo
    Yeah you know how we do, we do it for the people
    And the struggles of the brothas and the folks
    With lovers under dope, experiment to discover hopes
    Scuffle for notes, the rougher I wrote, times were harder
    Went from rocky starter to a voice of a martyr
    Why white folks focus on dogs and yoga
    While people on the low end tryin to ball and get over
    Lyrics are like liquor for the fallen soldiers
    From the bounce to the ounce, its all our culture
    Everyday we hustlin, tryna get them custom rims
    Law we ain't trustin them, thick broads we lust in them
    Sick and tired of bunchin it, I look on the bus at them
    When I see them struggling, I think how I'm touchin them

    [ The People lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
    At the Grammy's, though they tried to India.Arie me
    Got back stage, and I bumped into Stevie
    He said no matter what, the people gone see me
    Can't leave rap alone the streets need me
    Hunger in they eyes, is what seems to feed me
    Inside peace mixed with beast seem to breed me
    Nobody believe, until I believe me
    Now I'm on the rise doin business with my guys
    Visions realize, music affected lives
    A gift from the skies, to be recognize
    I'm keeping my eyes on the people, that's the prize

    The day, has come
    Now we, are one
    Just take, your time
    And then, you'll find

    This is street ra-dio, for unsung heroes
    Ridin in they regal, tryin to stay legal
    My daughter found Nemo, I found the new primo
    Yeah you know how we do, we do it for the people
    From Englewood to a single hood in Botswana
    I see the I in We my nigga, yours is my drama
    Standin in front of the judge with no honor
    Barack stick, knight the people like Obama
    The karma of the streets is needs and takes
    Sometimes we find peace in beats and breaks
    Put the bang in the back so the seats can shake
    Rebel Cadillac music for the people sake
    The People

    The day, has come
    Now we, are one
    Just take, your time
    And then, you'll find
