POWER TO THE PEOPLE. Lyrics by AdyB

De Cartier

2019

Power To The People
[Verse 1]
I pray the lord there forgive me for all the sinning
Adrenaline kicking, coppas still pull
Their weaponry out on children
Deal with the constant feeling
This world of lies we live in
Imortalized the word of God
Upon the white and privileged
Plantations, they turned them all into prison yards
It's cold, I could compare the physical ones to written bars
They tell you Jesus walked on water, you believe this shit
But doubt the fact that shit there get foul
Within all them leaderships
White on black, then black on black
Then black on brown, fight it
Shit get sicker, sinusitis
Want us all divided
Emancipate yourself from this mental slavery
Word to Bob Marley
Questioning this shit since elementary
Don’t get your fucking brains blown back
This shit could get ugly like it's Kodak
If you talk and you ain't know that, like
The only thing really promised to us is death
So quit flexing with the tec
Best protect your fucking neck, homie
[Malcolm X Speech]
We are oppressed
We are denied, not only civil rights
But even human rights
So the only way we’re going to get
Some of this, oppression away from us
Is come together against the common enemy
[Verse 2]
They put guns in the hood
Plus dope and they lack hope
America still ain't pay reparations to black folks
And I'm out in Europe
Looking like what the fuck is wrong
First cracker to understand
And put it in a song, like
Fuck America and the POTUS
They on that Willie Lynch
Act up everywhere, that's just what a silly bitch like
Know we grew up poor
Was born and raised on the east side
Family of immigrants, ain't ever seen no pigs fly
How you love the culture, not the people though?
Used to hang them by ropes a couple of years ago
Different time though we do the same crime
How the justice system lying
Shit gonna stab you from behind
Land of the slave, this the home of the brave
Ain't shit out there free
Not even lying in your grave
Stay in your lane, get the guap and get paid
And invest that in the future
You gonna die anyway, homie
[Nipsey Hussle Interview]
Interviewer: Wait, wait, can you repeat that again, you an up and coming artist. What did you say you want to do?
Nipsey: I said invest, in some assets as opposed to trick off my money on some liabilities like diamonds, you know what I'm saying? Cars that lose value soon as you drive them off the lot
Interviewer: So you trynna, you trynna get land?
Nipsey: Exactly homie, a real asset, take care of my peoples cause you know, it look good but at the end of the day you losing value homie, it ain't appreciating it’s depreciating, it’s losing value
