This is street ra-dio, for unsung heroes
Ridin in they Regal, tryin to stay legal
My daughter found Nemo, I found the new primo
Yeah you know how we do, we do it for the people
And the struggle of the brothas and the folks
With lovers under dope, experiment to discover hopes
Scuffle for notes, the rougher I wrote, times were harder
Went from rocky starter to the voice of a martyr
While white folks focus on dogs and yoga
My people on the low end try to ball and get over
Lyrics are like liquor for the fallen soldiers
From the bounce to the ounce, its all our culture
Everyday we hustlin, tryna get them custom rims
Law we ain’t trusting them, thick broads we lust in them
Sick and tired of punchin' in, I look on the bus at them
When I see them struggling, I think how I’m touchin them
The People
The day, has come
Now we, are one
Just take, your time
And then, you’ll find
This is street ra-dio, for unsung heroes
Ridin in they Regal, tryin to stay legal
My daughter found Nemo, I found the new primo
Yeah you know how we do, we do it for the people
The people said that I was sharp on TV
At the Grammy’s, though they tried to India.Arie me
Got back stage, and I bumped into Stevie
He said no matter what, the people gone see me
Can’t leave rap alone the streets need me
Hunger in they eyes, is what seems to feed me
Inside peace mixed with beast seem to breed me
Nobody believed, until I believed me
Now I’m on the rise doin business with my guys
Visions realize, music affecting lives
A gift from the skies, to be recognize
I’m keeping my eyes on the people, that’s the prize
The day, has come
Now we, are one
Just take, your time
And then, you’ll find
This is street ra-dio, for unsung heroes
Ridin in they regal, tryin to stay legal
My daughter found Nemo, I found the new primo
Yeah you know how we do, we do it for the people
From Inglewood to a single hood in Botswana

I see the I in We my nigga, yours is my drama
Standin in front of the judge with no honor
My raps ignite the people like Obama
The karma of the streets is needs and takes
Sometimes we find peace in beats and breaks
Put the bang in the back so the seats can shake
Rebel Cadillac music for the people sake
The People
The day, has come
Now we, are one
Just take, your time
And then, you’ll find

very impressed with the effort put into this. great links. that's kind of artsy Mister Mikesee.
Thanks JAC! This is like my favorite song right now. I listen to it million times a day and I wanted to put his words to some real life images to show that he's not just talking, but he is speaking on serious issues that are going on right now. There are several other songs on the album I could probably do this to. Most notably "Black Maybe" but since I am feeling this one so much I think I'll leave it at this.
It's more than just rap, it's hip-hop. If you catch my drift.
Indeed.
I think the simple fact you put in the links tells a lot. Here's hoping the masses get it.
And I'm loving the Freedom Writers as part of the song. (*inner history geek)
