People Songtext

People Songtext

People, people, people, people
People, people, people, people
People

The streets are paved with fallen souls (I don′t know, but I've been told)
′Cause I ain't never been down that road
The ghetto got a dirty name (the media pursued their flame)
But tell me really who are they to say?
It's not about the residents (damn what people think of them)
Bush is sitting cozy on the hill
So don′t look down, look up high (don′t let these people steal your pride)
Use that ghetto bullshit as a shield

And people, people
Somebody's got to tell the truth (ooh-ooh)
(I don′t think they heard you)
And people, people
Somebody's got to tell the truth


Here we go, another year (niggas juggling hate and fear)
Time is moving like the twelve-hand
It ain′t all so political (radical metaphysical)
But everybody's got to understand
See life ain′t what it used to be (death is sowing many seeds)
We're moving like we'll never see pain
I usually run through life, but now (I act too quickly, slow it down)
But I never, ever compromised myself

And people, people
Somebody′s got to tell the truth
(I don′t think they heard you)
And people, people
Somebody's got to tell the truth

The government′s the biggest pimp (they take their cut and leave you with)
Nothing at the end of the day
I'm searching for a solitude (but all I find is niggas who)
Smile and tell me lies to my face
The industry′s no better 'cause (they only show you mad love)
When your life and soul is living on the charts
But when your luck is facing down (those ones, they are not around)
Will take your heart and put it in the ground

And people, people
Somebody′s got to tell the truth
(I don't think they heard you)
And people, people
Somebody's got to tell the truth


And people, people
Somebody′s got to tell the truth
(I don′t think they heard you)
And people, people
Somebody's got to tell the truth

And people, people
Somebody′s got to tell the truth
('Cause only the truth will set you free))
And people, people
Somebody′s got to tell the truth

And people, people
Somebody's got to tell the truth
And people, people
Somebody′s got to tell the truth (ooh-ooh)
