Apollo Brown - We The People lyrics

[Verse 1] Constitutional creeds, what you believe​ Nowadays is a different type breed​ Declaring independance on these hard knock streets​ Laws have to enforce yet young'ns hold heat​ Grandmas scared to walk last week, she was robbed by a thief​ People dying over frivolous beef​ Respect is minimal​ People hold more respect for a criminal Oblivious​, your enemy's a friend of yours​ Trust waivers, material things enslave us​ Praying to myself, God save us​ Hearts are jaded​ Sort of like Juice when Raheem's mom was hung by the arms of Bishop​ listen People have color towards each other, rigid​ If one is down the other treat him like a peasant​ True or false the truth hard to absorb​ The proof shows look at the effects it causes​ [Hook] On a mission for the people, look down​ For the warriors standing they ground​ Salute for woman and child​ We as the people must own up to our valor​ Take action against things that's pulling us down​ I'd rather die on my feet than to live on my knees​ For change and guarantees​ The people need to take charge​ Get involved and wake up​ Or forever stay asleep​ [Verse 2] Evil effects the hearts of men​ Even when they're made aware, they're justifying descend There has to be a threshold you won't cross But of course​ it's mans nature no to admit when he's wrong​ I'm in that same boat trying to stay afloat​ Trying to take my own advice from the rhymes I write​ The older you get, your thoughts mature​ Jezebels lure them in cause they're pockets all full​ AZ said it best, we lust the 4 devils​ Most are fickle, won't lend your fam not a nickel​ People are stone cold, remember​ Everybody grows old ​ So who'll be your keeper when the time creep up?​ Family bonds these days are not tight​ Selfish ways are vicious like a pitbull bite​ True or false, the truth hard to absorb​ The proof shows look at the effects it causes​ [Hook] [Verse 3] People are shifty, spending time and energy​ Warranted paranoia stays with me​ Keeping my back against the wall so I can see what's going on​ For quick decision-making if I'm thinkin about it​ Misery loves company​ As opposed to seeing others doing they thing​ Then talk smack about them​ Somebody shot, lying, dying on the ground​ Instead of calling 9-1-1, people just crowd around him​ The hood's paralyzed​ All across these United States eating off welfare's​ health care S.S.I. for the ones who can't work​ Can't work sit behind a desk grilling your whole earth​ When they work for full check themselves​, nose up in the air ​ Popping gum with the fake hair and nails​ True or false the truth hard to absorb​ The proof shows look at the effects it cause [Hook]
