The People - KnowMads

This life is love this life is God this life is no regrets

This life is pain this life is work this life is blood and sweat

God told me it’d take blood sweat and tears

Trying to live that rap life, let me buzz debt and fears

Strange people start to hate, success coming near

It’s a shame when we’re stressed, and possessed by our fear (uh)

See it clear through the man in the mirror

Trying to make a change for everyone, not make them feel inferior

Cause I don’t know if we can help or not

But I can smell the shot on the corner even before the shell could drop

Guess you gotta let your metal pop, while we watching every felon walk cause

nobody ever tells the cops

Seldom caught so they’re always selling rock

«Do we live in a melting pot?»

is like asking if Hell is hot

Yeah we’re compelled to stop, taking L’s and getting locked

Cause we understand the system, but just can’t connect the dots

Other people divided in the pigments of a fragment nation

I’m just a voice, a figment of your imagination

It’s your choice, be different and find your aspiration

Instead of being a full trick by fascination

Train of thought, get on track, now we leave the station

Goal for 2012, better conversation

Between nations so they can make reparations

Politicians never did live up to my expectations

Feeling gifted ‘cause music is more than recreation

Trying to manage my business between these celebrations

Our invention is intuition and innovation

I saw this vision in my head and now I’m on the stage

I wrote this wisdom so we can carry on through the ages

Still they always used to judge me by my age

It’s a shame we ain’t aware of our saviors

Some stay blind from the womb to the grave

So keep these rhymes in the tomb of the ancients

And no matter what happens, keep the faith

‘Cause one day we gonna learn to save the planet, God

My kids will learn to fly to outerspace

‘Cause they keep you trapped inside metal cages

So take these bars, break them down, and we’ll escape

And if the evils make you start to hate your peoples

Just remember God is love and you’ll be safe
