Goodie Mob - 4 My Ppl lyrics

Yessir! We in the house yeah
This strictly for my people right here
Nobody else
So if you don't get it don't worry about it
Here we go

I do it for my people like David the Goliath
Off with your head everybody start a riot
Sick and tired of excuses people
Get yo' shit together
All you really needed was food
Clothes and shelter
My people at the exit with the cardboard sign
The world - still a ghetto
And we know it's by design
But my people, I'm a shine
Ambition in my eyes like Rosco P coltrane my
Haters look surprised surprise, surprise
Like cream of the crop see I rise
I still found truth even though you lied
They tried


And tried but we didn't die we multiplied
Like one million niggas inside
Where you gon' run, where you gon' hide?
From my people, sometimes
They act like beasts
Who raised you motherfuckers
Killing yo' own in the streets?
You don't think God see? Oh
I forgot you don't care
Thats right you don't think shit stink
Until they give you that chair

Everytime I write - it be for my people
And everytime I rap - it be for my people
And everytime I sing - it be for my people
And everytime I dream - it be for my people
And everything I think about be for my people
And everytime I shine - it be for my people
I do it for the good - it be for my people
I do it for the hood - it be for my people
(Waaayy)

Black people, incarceration
Protestin', across the nation
Emancipation, proclamation
Mo' time is what we're facin'
Been a hundred years - no reparations
No for the X, no one Nation
No nigga in my situation
Is secure with the occupation
So strategize, monetize
Emphasize for the green guys
Pass the time, on the grind
Gotta have mine, it's my time
We all side to one line
To one sign to start up
The revolution against the constitution
I don't like, it's not right
For my people, I'm all in
For my people in the courthouse
For my people go dirty south
For my people I split your wig
For my people want represent it
Got a problem with it
Get defendant, I'm up in it
Waist deep, two days with no sleep

Everytime I write - it be for my people
And everytime I rap - it be for my people
And everytime I sing - it be for my people
And everytime I dream - it be for my people
And everything I think about be for my people
And everytime I shine - it be for my people
I do it for the good - it be for my people
I do it for the hood - it be for my people
(Waaayy)

Now, a revolution if done right
It won't be a rumour that's repeated
And it most certainly won't be televised
Snapchatted or tweeted! And the admission
Is essentially asking for permission
An easy way to know you're ETA
'Cause just like we listened? Shit
He listened! And it's forged and propagated
But no problem is solved you see
The difference between a killing and a murder
Is the emotion involved
And yet there is harsh reality
To reflect your claim but when you're angry
It'll only affect your aim
So talking is like the tantrum
And your gunfire's random
I'll write a revolution down on paper
Brandishing my handgun
See, you need to kill something
Destroy something or rebuild something
Move something massive
Or the whole protest is passive

Everytime I write - it be for my people
And everytime I rap - it be for my people
And everytime I sing - it be for my people
And everytime I dream - it be for my people
And everything I think about be for my people
And everytime I shine - it be for my people
I do it for the good - it be for my people
I do it for the hood - it be for my people
(Waaayy)

One for my people like & Jose
I do it for my people
Like Campbellton Road & Oak City
I do it for my people
These streets raised me
These streets payed me
I do it for them people
But keep following the

I do it for my people
I'm tryna wake up the sheeple
Mind like stuck do it for the people
Frontline with the people
