People Always Come First
Made masterpieces and owned em like Master P
Mastery of self after hurt the pain and agony
Tapestry of threads that's interwoven just Peep the clothe
They watching me come off meanwhile the democracies are lost
They tax on working people... then pay for diplomatic tags
Financing ambassadors hacking social media apps
Flip side shorty wop thirst trapping with her w.a.p.
Charlatan entrepreneurs taking pictures of they watch
Scamming the weak and poor seeking to even the score
Looking for the drip the only drip is leaking thru they pores
Cancel culture can never cancel what's never been put on
Class of elites, controlling what artists put in they songs
Thru elaborate mechanics it's a labyrinth you manage
If u push ideas that slanted algorithm gonna ban it
Consumption as a way of self expression's what they want
Illusion of a free economy u Selling what they want
The king really the pawn the pundit really the con
From Crenshaw, Philly to Bronx while drones is releasing bombs
Through these atrocities mad villains and new leaders is spawn
Nationalism is born and fascism has evolved
Electronic coins monitoring is the norm
Post atomic war these oligarchs reaching they final form
So what you fighting for? When they successfully divide us more
On a survival course human evolved straighten ya spinal cord
Yo we live that life
They try to put us in a box
Cause we give that light
They wrecked environments with toxins
I don't eat that crap
They try to gentrify the knowledge
I won't speak like that
People always come first
Hallow heads for hallow heads swallowing shells
Feeding followers, coddling cotton picking for sales
They even tried to stop to mail you gotta have the heart to fail
And put ya thoughts out in the world for them to hear your honest tale...
Gave em a Holy Grail.. that's the blood inside the body
Mind cluttered up and foggy from the fuck shit that's around me
My mom moved back Africa my sister still not talking
Family disconnected threw my old self in a coffin
That's the butterfly effect I had to modify the flex
I don't need to chase the game man.. I grabbed it by the neck
They wouldn't answer my text now they blowing my phone
Offering me gifts... they try to blow up my dome
My head was scrapping on the gravel way too long for that work
You wasn't in the gym, gallons of sweat on my shirt
Now my life feel like a blur my fate to be determined
brain muscle feeling the burn barking on em like Nina Turner
Price to pay to be a earner, sea moss in the blender
These G forces will bend ya it's a real morbid agenda
When ya life hinges on a hit posted on viral engines
Artifices travel to break ya viral defenses
Ancient hieroglyphics that's written in style explicit
Fried chicken and mental diet got us dying of malnutrition
Loving the people living while we criticize the system
Putting the people first man let's normalize the
Yo we live that life
They try to put us in a box
Cause we give that light
They wrecked environments with toxins
I don't eat that crap
They try to gentrify the knowledge
I won't speak like that
People always come first
