Common - The People lyrics
(Intro)
 Yeah, this for the people
 (Verse 1)
 This is street ra-di-o
 For unsung hero
 Ridin in the regal
 Tryin to stay legal
 My daughter found nemo
 I found the new creamo
 Yeah you know how we do
 We do it for the people
 And the struggle, a lot of brothas and their folks
 The lovers of the dope
 Experiment to discover hope
 Scuffle for notes
 The ruffle I wrote
 Times was harder
 If [?] to the voice of a [?]
 Why white folk focus on dogs and yoga
 People on the low end try to ball and get ova
 Lyrics are like liquor for the fallen soldier
 From the bounce to the ounce, it's all our culture
 Everyday we hustlin
 Tryin to get them customers
 Law, we ain't trustin them
 Thick bras, we lustin them
 Sick and tired of punchin it
 I look on the busted them
 When I see them strugglin
 I think I'm touchin them
 (Chorus)
 The days... have come
 Now we... are gone
 Just take... your time
 And then... you'll find
 (Verse 2)
 This is street ra-di-o
 For unsung hero
 Ridin in the regal
 Tryin to stay legal
 My daughter found nemo

 Yeah you know how we do
 We do it for the people
 The people, said that I'm sharp on tv
 At the grammy's, though they tryin to India Arie me
 Got back stage and I bumped into stevie
 He said no matter what, the people gon' see me
 Can't leave rap alone, the streets need me
 Hunger in they eyes, is what seemed to feed me
 Inside peace mixed with beef, seemed to breed me
 Nobody believe, until I believe me
 Now I'm on the wise
 Doing business with my guys
 Visions realized
 Music affectin lives
 A gift from the skies
 To be recognized
 I keep my eyes on the people, that's the prize
(Chorus)
 (Verse 3)
 This is street ra-di-o
 For unsung hero
 Ridin in the regal
 Tryin to stay legal
 My daughter found nemo
 I found the new creamo
 Yeah you know how we do
 We do it for the people
 From inglewood
 To a single hood
 In Botswana
 I see the eye and we might [?]
 My drama
 Standin in front of the judge with no honor
 My rhymes take mike to people like obama
 The karma of the street
 Says 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 peoples sake
 The people...
(Chorus)
