[Chorus]
People, let me borrow your minds for a minute, if I may
People, let me borrow your minds for a minute, if I may

[Verse 1]
Feeling kinda crazy, on the daily
Going purple hazy, big baby
How you gonna play me, radio, baby
They be scared of the real way we be
313, D-E-T
Fresh pair of Air Forces crispy
All black [T?] in my all black [D?]
Black car, act hard, how you gonna mack me?
Smack me and I'll smack you back
Only thing I know is let my paper stack
You wanna get some dro, well I know where it's at
When n***as get money, they don't know how to act
Detroit, stand up
If you getting bread, then put your hands up
Put it in the air if you rolling gans up
And please don't forget to boss your mans up

[Chorus]
People, let me borrow your minds for a minute, if I may
People, let me borrow your minds for a minute, if I may
[Verse 2]
This for my people in the hood, the ones without jobs
Trying to get that money, and you know times hard
For my people overseas, the ones in Iraq
The soldiers that are gone that ain't never coming back
All my people gotta hustle, caught up in the struggle
Living in the jungle, gotta make it bubble
People gotta realize and not criticize
People really gotta open up they eyes
People don't know what other people been through
Just to get here, and don't pretend to
People gotta respect, people gotta run a check
People gotta keep it on this earth a type of intellect
People gotta open they minds to all kinds
People gotta grind hard and find time
People shouldn't be in a rush to dyin'
People don't need real diamonds to shine

[Chorus]
People, let me borrow your minds for a minute, if I may
People, let me borrow your minds for a minute, if I may
