For My People

[Bridge]
Tell me why, tell me why I've been up for three days
Tell me why, tell me why nothing feels the same way
Tell me why, tell me why I've been doing okay
Tell me why, tell me why, yeah

[Verse 1]
They said that you were gone, you were out of town
You never called and I stopped seeing you around
I got a message from a friend who said you recollected
But I perfected acting like I even feel affected
My intention is the opposite of your direction
'Cause I ain't sittin' here waitin’ on a chance to get 'em
For anybody who has doubted me, I let 'em go
I feel the light shine now it's got a vivid glow
Some people call it faith and maybe you call it hope
I say you run the show, the only one with full control
Surround yourself with only those who wanna see you grow
Follow the open road until you find your soul
Along the way you cope
Allow yourself to breathe
The door is open, you just gotta find the strength to leave
In you I do believe
But I need you to see the view from here where we can both disappear

[Hook]
This is one time for my people on the floor
This is two times for my people feelin’ low
And hit me three times for my people in the club
Tryna' have a good night now
Don't throw it up
Sayin' this is one time for my people on the floor
This is two times for my people feelin’ low
And hit me three times for my people in the clouds
Tryna' have a good night now
Don't roll it up sayin'

[Verse 2]
Who the tightest up in here?
Who the tightest up in here?
I don’t really give a fuck about the tightest up in here
I’m just here to rock a mic
Share a stage with all my peers
Tell me what do we have left if comradery disappears?
It’s a given, a test, so I’m ‘bout to give my best
They be lookin’ to my left like where your homie [?]
But most things, they changin’, that’s the only constant
Success is like a bank, you will get what you deposit
Be accountable for loss and stay focused on the profit
I’m climbin’ from the bottom still learnin’ how to top it
And sometimes I topple down but I’m never givin’ up
If I could get up one more time from this shit
I had enough
Dried your eyes so many nights, I hope this pillowcase is
But think about the time you wasted on feeling sorry for yourself and face it
Only you can change this
[?] the delegations and [?] your dedications

[Hook]
This is one time for my people on the floor
This is two times for my people feelin’ low
And hit me three times for my people in the club
Tryna' have a good night now
Don't throw it up
Sayin' this is one time for my people on the floor
This is two times for my people feelin’ low
And hit me three times for my people in the clouds
Tryna' have a good night now
Don't roll it up sayin'

[Bridge]
Tell me why, tell me why I've been up for three days
Tell me why, tell me why nothing feels the same way
Tell me why, tell me why I've been doing okay
Tell me why, tell me why, yeah

[Verse 3]
Tell me why there ain’t no rest for the wicked
Lord know I never sleep, I be worried ‘bout my business
Momma said she had a vision
I could see it in the distance
I’mma make a difference, that’s the point of my existence
Now before I exit, I want you all to listen
Every moment breathin’ is a motherfuckin’ blessing
When your faith is gettin’ tested and your heart is feelin’ restless
Either you regret, or you take it as a lesson sayin’

[Hook]
This is one time for my people on the floor
This is two times for my people feelin’ low
And hit me three times for my people in the club
Tryna' have a good night now
Don't throw it up
Sayin' this is one time for my people on the floor
This is two times for my people feelin’ low
And hit me three times for my people in the clouds
Tryna' have a good night now
Don't roll it up sayin'
