For My People Lyrics by CNN Mikey

2023

[Intro]
(Major Seven, have you made this?)
[Chorus]
This is for them times we went to sleep 'cause we ain't have no food
A different breed, baby, this is what that struggle do
I can't fake this
That's the shit that made me
Money rule the world, it's the root of all evil
If I sell my soul, then I did it for my people
I can't take this
Some shit done changed me
[Verse 1]
Moved out the city, I'm tired of drugs, petty shit, and violence
You don't hear no shit about Toledo 'less somebody dyin'
Thank God I'm blеssed, I could not rest to make it far as I did
Mom ain't wakin' up, givе her a shake, I gotta check her eyelids
Her boyfriend like to beat up on her, I couldn't do nothin' 'bout it
But if he spin the block again, I bet I'm catchin' my first body
Taking drugs, she out of body, why you always sayin' sorry?
I don't like to talk about it, don't care long my sister smilin'
[Chorus]
This is for them times we went to sleep 'cause we ain't have no food
A different breed, baby, this is what that struggle do
I can't fake this
That's the shit that made me
Money rule the world, it's the root of all evil
If I sell my soul, then I did it for my people
I can't take this
Some shit done changed me
[Verse 2]
Mama stuck, she overdosin', this one ain't the first time
Every day, I think about your death, I'm glad you still alive
I don't like to show my feelings, I'll admit I'm traumatized
I can't trust a soul 'cause I been lied to too many times
I'm used to seein' suicide, but now I let the doors up
Take my brothers out the mud, they on my back, boy, I'm a soldier
Put the city on fire, it's 'cause of me like I'm the Joker
I might tweak out in this bitch, don't need no pill, boy, I'm bipolar
[Chorus]
This is for them times we went to sleep 'cause we ain't have no food
A different breed, baby, this is what that struggle do
I can't fake this
That's the shit that made me
Money rule the world, it's the root of all evil
If I sell my soul, then I did it for my people
I can't take this
Some shit done changed me
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
This is for them times we went to sleep 'cause we ain't have no food
A different breed, baby, this is what that struggle do
I can't fake this
That's the shit that made me
Money rule the world, it's the root of all evil
If I sell my soul, then I did it for my people
I can't take this
Some shit done changed me
[Outro]
I can't take this
Some shit done changed me
I can't take this, no
I can't take this
Some shit done changed me
I can't take this, no
