[Verse 1]
Ayo back once again I'm here to tell it like it is
I elevate the minds of these rural young kids
Doing mad B.S.,
A cause of that stress
Getting familiar with the phrase "You are under arrest."
Causing havoc
Because they don't know how to use time
To be a beneficial asset
And leave war behind
The negativity created
They minds getting waisted
And just because the smell of cash flow can be tasted
It's funny 'cause most of us depend on all the money
And no one ain't about the trying to lose it in a hurry
The cash causes situations, but I think personally
The more you get the more you seem to have adversity
Sometimes it feels like Satan's really cursing me
But God reminds me that there's someone else that's worse than me
I should be thankful that He made this universe for me
That's why we need to get these kids in universities
Doing something that's constructive and productive
We have to show 'em there's a reason that they must live
More or less we seem to want it all our own way
The bottom line I'm tryin' to say is People Don't Stray
[Verse 2]
Yo it's a shame that this world has become so full of badness
So many people here that carry on with madness
I gotta fight for good especially if I be that
Type of MC who thinks the Devil is a key at
Definite, that's why I fight for positivity
I want the Spirit of the Lord to really live in me
Giving me strength everyday
So I don't have to play
And just like Tribe, I find a way
To motivate, elevate, and demonstrate
Don't want nobody thinkin' Funky D is featherweight
I really want these young kids to see better days
And experience good things in life in many ways
I ain't preaching, I'm just saying what my heart says
Don't want my life to ever end up as a total mess
More or less we seem to want it all our own way
The bottom line I'm tryin' to say is People Don't Stray
[Verse 3]
Yo, I close my eyes and have to think sometimes
Of what the world would be like without hatred and crimes
Without the lust for currency but just peace of mind
And lots of lovin', I guess most of us will just find
The world's better
So yo, we have to make it like that
But yo, you really must believe that you have got it like that
And if you got it like that
Than we can make it like that
And if we make it like that
We gotta keep it like that
And if we keep it like that
We gotta teach it like that
And if we teach it like that
We gotta trust it like that
Bust it like that, see now I use this thing called rap
To try and keep the younger generation on the right track
It's really hard 'cause some are filled with ignorance
They all hear me but see they love the word pretense
'Cause more or less we seem to want it all our own way
The bottom line I'm tryin' to say is People Don't Stray
