The People

[Verse 1: Decay]

Imagine growing up while living on cheap food
Imagine having to blaze to enter a good mood
Never lived in the hood man
I came up from the slums
Where the criminals run shit, we live under the guns
And if you try to speak out you get checked real quick
Negotiation with a blade or answer to a clip
A war that once started from faith
God ignores my prayers so how the fuck am I safe?
I refuse to be buried as another fucking waste
Be on my deathbed, reminicing about the dream I chased
I present myself as half man half amazing
You hear it in the words and the way that I phrase them
Gotta watch my back, see tomorrow's not guranteed
People out here get a rush making a man bleed
No one on one's, it's strictly unfair fights
Prone to stop breathing if they get you in their sights
No peace for us here, the community's torn
A man lost his life and a baby was born
It's a fucked up cycle, and it won't stop yet
Only trust yourself is something I can't forget
You could have a homie but he could be disguised
Secretly behind your back plotting your demise
It's a dark cold world, life is a fight
Tryna see clearly without going to the light

[Verse 2: Decay]

It's hard for me to do what I do best
Us people aren't free, they don't offer success
As a speaker of life, they won't let me speak
Rather replace my true words with some that are week
My words create thoughts in the mind of the streets
We don't want no more victims laying under the sheets
We don't want no more sanctions, living under the silence
See we're sick of the routine, we're done with the violence
You best believe I'm coming for the fucking top spot
Decay's a global problem that they're not gonna stop
Cos I've seen things, experienced shit you won't believe
Seen how evil people operate and how they decieve
See I'm doing this shit for all people with no voice
Who live like slaves, and they've got no choice
We must become the change that we really wanna see
We must become the people we desire to be
No matter your belief or the God you foresee
If we can't find peace then we'll never be free
How can we express ourselves, freedom is a lie
Is a constant thought of mine when I talk to the sky
So many questions that recieve no reply
All I'm left to wonder in my head is why
It's a dark cold world, life is a fight
Tryna see clearly without going to the light
