My People (Special Version)

by Black Isco

/

lyrics

What you've got to do right now is free your mind
'cause your future is on the line
While history doesn't repeat itself, it often rhymes

For my people who've been stuck in the grind
Living life one rhyme at a time
When it comes to that moment of truth
Make sure that the moment's for you
For my people who've been stuck in the grind
Living life one rhyme at a time
When it comes to that moment of truth
Make sure that the moment's for you

Do or die, my crew arrives and the truths revived
Give me the loot and I execute like the noose is tied
Real Gs are endangered, only a few alive
Overly scrutinised coz our love is supersized
Eric B predigree, steadily check my melody
It's incredibly heavenly, to the haters, well c'est la vie
Killing it, verily, verify my telemetry
You'll see my ambition's the only thing that's ahead of me
Working overtime to relax with the fam
While trying to survive getting taxed by the man
You're trying to hold water but there's cracks in the dam
The world could be your oyster but you're trapped in a clam
But wait, that's not the fate of people who stay true
To who they really are, they're destined to break through
Integrity and excellence is honouring God
And inspiration to man to get us out of the fog

For my people who've been stuck in the grind
Living life one rhyme at a time
When it comes to that moment of truth
Make sure that the moment's for you
For my people who've been stuck in the grind
Living life one rhyme at a time
When it comes to that moment of truth
Make sure that the moment's for you

It's the information age, and it's a knowledge economy
Those with a monopoly try to lock us in poverty
To witness the hypocrisy of the gods on my odyssey
It's not a shock to me that my honesty's an anomaly
This is the picture I'm afforded by the screens
We're interdependent like a florist with the bees
You let your son flower and you forrage for the seeds
Sometimes they just can't see the forest for the trees
It's complicated like conversations when condom breakage
leads to concentration on Auntie Flow coming kind of late and
You contemplate and debate on finding a common place
And it culminates in contempt for the way you connotate it
Searching for peace now with each endeavour
Wealth's a long puzzle we can piece together
Til we're flying first class just to beat the weather
'cause yeah, the city's cool but the beach is better

For my people who've been stuck in the grind
Living life one rhyme at a time
When it comes to that moment of truth
Make sure that the moment's for youFor my people who've been stuck in the grind
Living life one rhyme at a time
When it comes to that moment of truth
Make sure that the moment's for you
