Goodie Mob — 4 My Ppl

[Intro] 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 [Verse 1: Khujo Goodie] 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 [Chorus] 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) [Verse 2: Big Gipp] 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 [Chorus] 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) [Verse 3: CeeLo Green] 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 [Chorus] 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) [Big Gipp Outro] 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
