A$AP Ferg, Mama Ferg, Chuck D - Beautiful People lyrics

We got our ways
But ain't we human beings too?
If our lives don't matter, no lives matter
Thus, life of our future
Dying is unacceptable
Living for what we believe in is life it'self
(Uh)
And that in it'self is beautiful, people (Uh)

Beautiful people
Let's take a second and think
We continue these issues
Our ship will drown and we sink
This is nothing political
This is so we be sync
Stick together forever and we'll
Weather the rain
We'll weather the storm, let's try to move on
Build a better community so
Our children be norm'
Transform from arms and bombs like Vietnam
Teach your kid how to eat and
Teach your kid how to farm
Watch what you put in your body
So we can live it long
Mind, body and soul in tact
Proud and you strong this rap ain't no lap
It's more like a marathon
This track ain't no track
Just something I set it on
Live life in harmony, put love in your arms
Forgive to receive the blessing
Of peace and calm
Just a product of Malcolm X and Farrakhan
Martin Luther and Marvin Gaye all
Through a ghetto song

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
People, people, people, people
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
(Beautiful) people, people, people, people

Beautiful people can be defined by
Her hair, her eyes, her body
Beautiful people
Beauty is behind the surface
It is the soul, the spirit
That lies beneath the soul, the skin
It is the power of that beauty that holds us
That strengthens us
It is the way we dance when we wanna cry
It is our mind that creates
The definition of the beauty
Clear your mind, clear your body
Reach for the strength within
We are all beautiful people

All my beautiful people
All my beautiful people
I'm the ghetto apostle, come on, follow
I'll lead you tell 'em put down the pipes
The liquor bottles and needles
Treat your family right
Your mommy and daughter need you
Grandma, auntie and cousin
OG told you 'bout thuggin'
But he ain't 'mount to nothing
He on top of that oven
Still on top of that corner
His little niggas be drummin'
Blicka-blocka, they buckin'
They finna hit you with somethin'
Jack-o' lantern with hammers
They finna open your pumpkin
Popping your collar pimping and this
Ain't nothin' 'bout stuntin'
If you ain't talkin' thuggin' then
You ain't talkin' 'bout nothin'
Bullshit, I'm the Pope
I think I am onto something
I wanna empower people, wanna empower people
White, purple and yellow
And all of my browner people
We can be positive
Don't let negativity kill you
First start with your friends then move
A whole town of people
