[Chorus: Raz Simone]
Uh, I like my music to be free, so even if your broke you can sing
(Cuz you're my people)
And I vow to tell the truth, Imma always stay honest in the booth
(Cuz you're my people)
I said things you don't wanna hear, always out of love cuz I care
(Cuz you're my people)
(Cuz you're my people)
(Cuz you're my people)
[Verse 1: Raz Simone]
I speak for those who can't speak
I stand up for those who don't have feet
The nerds, the dweebs, the geeks
The popular kids who have lower self-esteem than the people they pick on every week
The dope dealers and junkies
The hoes and pimps with the money
Kids with the emptiest tummies
The ones with bullshit in their tummies
All the lil niggas that just got hit with 5 years
So my mother wouldn't be the first to cry tears
When I was locked away I overcame my fears
But then my heart hurt when I thought about my peers
All the family I wouldn't be able to be there for for 5 years
The light bills and pay the rent
I couldn't help but make this song my fans will never get to play
In a word where rappers only looks at fans as pay
How could I lay?
How could I sleep
When there's way to much unjust to just adjust to the realities of being stuck
[Chorus: Raz Simone]
So, I like my music to be free, so even if your broke you can sing
(Cuz you're my people)
And I vow to tell the truth, Imma always stay honest in the booth
(Cuz you're my people)
I said things you don't wanna hear, always out of love cuz I care
(Cuz you're my people)
(Cuz you're my people)
(Cuz you're my people)
[Verse 2: Raz Simone]
In my home they keep calling me king
I don't know how I feel or even how I'm supposed to think
That's a heavy weight, I guess that keeps me grounded while my head inflates
Being the hottest rapper doesn't make you king to set the record straight
All the starstruck fans with their arms up
Don't know how close I keep them in my heart but
My people I've told you you keep me alive it's so true
Feeding my spirit every day, soul food
He told me he hasn't been moved by rap since 2Pac Shakur
Then he heard my music, and it struck a chord
I know I've been through all this shit in my life for something lord
We both unknowingly picked eachother up from the floor
They say that all is fair when it comes to love and war
If you didn't want full contact go and choose another sport
I jump into the crowd just so I can touch this more
Have full faith in my people, the ones who help support
[Chorus: Raz Simone]
So, I like my music to be free, so even if your broke you can sing
(Cuz you're my people)
And I vow to tell the truth, Imma always stay honest in the booth
(Cuz you're my people)
I said things you don't wanna hear, always out of love cuz I care
(Cuz you're my people)
(Cuz you're my people)
(Cuz you're my people)
