2Ru3 - The People lyrics

[Intro - 2Ru3 speaking] Ay, you know, as I look around See the news, hear people talking about what's going on I can't help..but think...it's time for a change But we can't...make that change... If we always...pointing the finger.... We gotta look at ourselves, too... [Chorus/Hook] This is for the people, all of the people Not just black, white, and latino But..all of the people This is for the people, all of the people I'm hoping that you hear me, I hope you hear me [Verse 1: 2Ru3] Many opinions and estimations, while lacking truthful statements Fantasy living used as tools to escape real life situations We went from morals and principles, to immoral yet legal existence Yet wonder why it seems the hearts and minds have died of our children Stuck in a place where love is distorted..and genuity scarce Where truth is choked for standing and speaking leaving us needing repair Never once looking in that mirror, willing to make changes Paying no mind to the youth therefore we the reason they seemingly crazy In a world of misconstrued truth, where hate and evil run awry Masked blind behind digital screens, sowing discord and folly Promotin' senseless, bitterness, ignorance, just wasting our lives Losin' our minds here on earth, ignoring her cry.... [Chorus/Hook x 2] [Verse 2: 2Ru3] Countless murders continue occurring as the world keeps on turning Some feel so weighted down and oppressed they seek to bring their d**h early Virginity stolen with innocence, leaving folks broken and bitter and Never quite knowing what living is with a soul flowing with liberty Imprisoned within a system built off lies and greed Where the poor steal from the poor instead of unite and succeed Our children hear our words and grow, from that which we show Yet we push 'em aside, abuse 'em or raise 'em in the ways deemed wrong We've a**umed roles of sovereignty in spaces we ain't created Neither has that power given us the authority to rearrange it We talk bout peace, love, and charity while holding in hate People we living in spiritual slumber, wake up, we've gone astray [Chorus/Hook x 2] [Verse 3:2Ru3] Words of doubt and fear proclaimed amongst todays generation Parents mourn, children scorned, and others die daily Crooked laws abusing authority through militant methods Leaving citizens vexed and stressed to the point of ama**ing ma** weaponry Our world's crumbling to utter ruin before our eyes Unmistakable signs more than ever show we in latter times Living in a paradoxical and troubled state of existence Objecting truth therefore we lack the j**els to give to our children Do we not recognize the days and times in to which we've entered Warfare, against dark forces, in the realms of the spirit Let us combine so we can find..a better route in life Picking up peace, love, and unity throwing hatred aside... [Chorus/Hook x 2] [Outro - 2Ru3 speaking] So you see....the ball's in our court now It's up to us to make the change.... So....what you gone do... We gotta start somewhere....come on [Outro - Singing] Gotta make a change, things can't stay the same Gotta make a change, things can't stay the same So come..On... Come On, yea yea... Come On, yea yea.... Come On, Come On.......
