Nujabes, Funky DL - Peoples Don't Stray lyrics

Ayo back once again I'm here to
Tell it like it is
I elevate the minds of these rural young kids
Doing mad BS, a cause of that stress
Getting familiar with the phrase
"You are under arrest" causing havoc
Because they don't know how to use time
To be a beneficial asset
And leave war behind the negativity created
They minds getting waisted
And just because the smell of
Cash flow can be tasted
It's funny 'cause most of us
Depend on all the money
And no one ain't about the trying
To lose it in a hurry
The cash causes situations
But, I think personally
The more you get the more
You seem to have adversity
Sometimes it feels like Satan's
Really cursing me
But God reminds me that there's someone
Else that's worse than me
I should be thankful that He
Made this universe for me
That's why we need to get
These kids in universities
Doing something that's constructive
And productive we have to show 'em there's a
Reason that they must live
More or less we seem to want
It all our own way
The bottom line I'm tryin' to
Say is People Don't Stray

Yo it's a shame that this world
Has become so full of badness
So many people here that
Carry on with madness
I gotta fight for good especially
If I be that
Type of MC who thinks the Devil is a key at
Definite, that's why I fight for positivity
I want the Spirit of the Lord
To really live in me
Giving me strength everyday
So I don't have to play
And just like Tribe, I find a way
To motivate, elevate, and demonstrate
Don't want nobody thinkin' Funky
D is featherweight
I really want these young kids
To see better days
And experience good things in
Life in many ways i ain't preaching
I'm just saying what my heart says
Don't want my life to ever end
Up as a total mess
More or less we seem to want
It all our own way
The bottom line I'm tryin' to
Say is People Don't Stray

Yo, I close my eyes and
Have to think sometimes
Of what the world would be
Like without hatred and crimes
Without the lust for currency but
Just peace of mind and lots of lovin'
I guess most of us will just find
The world's better
So yo, we have to make it like that but yo
You really must believe that you
Have got it like that
And if you got it like that
Than we can make it like that
And if we make it like that
We gotta keep it like that
And if we keep it like that
We gotta teach it like that
And if we teach it like that
We gotta trust it like that
Bust it like that
See now I use this thing called rap
To try and keep the younger
Generation on the right track
It's really hard 'cause some
Are filled with ignorance
They all hear me but see
They love the word pretense
'Cause more or less we seem to
Want it all our own way
The bottom line I'm tryin' to
Say is People Don't Stray
