L-FRESH The LION - The People lyrics

[Verse 1 - Kid Pharaoh] This one's for the people, look I look and listen at the visions of my people and I hear ‘em Dream of a better tomorrow, the sorrow has diminished their spiri They know it's time to change the lives they're living And the leaders that deceived, no they could never forgive ‘em I'm with ‘em, they promised something than they did another Thinking they could get away with the lies they tried to cover You've been exposed now, there's no one here defending you Exploiting your own people just to go and chase some revenue It ended you, the power of the people overcame The deception of the wicked, see our freedom is no game We need change, take things into our own hands Determine our own future, and create our own plans Corrupt leaders, we don't need ‘em We're just asking for our freedom And these people, don't deceive ‘em Stand by ‘em, don't leave ‘em Freedom of choice, the freedom of voice I hope one day we can stand as one and rejoice [Hook] Power to the People No one can defeat you We gotta come together, gotta let the message reach you Power to the People No one can defeat you Need to unite as one, let the whole world see you (Rise up, rise up) Power to the people (Verse 2 - L-FRESH The LION) We are more than what you make of us Wealth is more than what you take from us This pathway wasn't paved for us So every step we take is dangerous Us, who you can you rely on if you can't trust, us When days are long and your nights are rough Your intellect is prison, your creativity's in cuffs The fire in your chest is just waiting to bust You talk about the struggle? Ha, but we are living it Telling us to get over it quick is inconsiderate You really don't give a sh**, so consider this My people's story goes untold so I became the lyricist To deliver this, like a strong clenched fist in the sky where possibilities are limitless They tell us to climb to the top, but the mountain is steep We're tryna manifest our dreams, but we're living in sleep [Hook]
