Be People
Be boys and be girls around the world
Whether you got a pair of locks or some jabby curls
Get off your big ass, ain’t no time to front
‘Cause you know just what I want- want
Said you know just what I want- want
Yo, you know just what I want- want

Be boys and be girls around the world
Whether you got a pair of locks or some jabby curls!
Get off your big ass, ain’t no time to front
‘Cause you know just what I want- want
Said you know just what I want- want
Yo, you know just what I want- want

I want all my folks to represent with me
We’ll all be unified eventually
But material things don’t mean shit to me
All of us spreading love through the century
Mix up the red, fuck blue and white
Add the black and gray, brother break at night
Tonight son, this time we’ll all come together
Run these black n***as along with the old process
Ain’t no pressure gonna make me crumble
Lose the ego maybe, or remain humble
All my Africans in America
They try to hold you down ‘cause they scared of ya
Impossible, take your life seriously
We can warriors get roch ridiculously
I dedicate this to, all the graph writers
And my MC’s for the- for the rad riders
My n***a, these days on the tornado tables
We all stay true, one of these days we’ll be-
Be people!
You know you’re not forgotten
The dance floor’s yours
Break it, pop it, and lock it
Be boys and be girls around the world
Whether you got a pair of locks or some jabby curls
Get off your big ass, ain’t no time to front
‘Cause you know just what I want- want
Said you know just what I want- want
Yo, you know just what I want- want

I want unity, for you and me
I said, you and I, must unify
I want unity, for you and me
I said, you and I, must unify

Yo, bury me, with my microphone
For hip-hop forever, on my turnt stone
Yo, I love my culture, and I love my people
We’re all activists, son, you know how we do
We here to stay like the slay turnt up
You best believe that I finna act like you know now
Put your fist up in the air
If you know politicians don’t really care
About this, our for very love today
Unless there’s some no-big cake for their love
Oh you know that bullshit is whack as hell
Like how brothers on the corner would rock a cell
Killing ourselves ain’t the move to make
This life wasn’t made for unity
Let’s celebrate life in unison
Be people!
It’s on you again
Be boys and be girls around the world
Whether you got a pair of locks or some jabby curls
Get off your big ass, ain’t no time to front
‘Cause you know just what I want- want
Said you know just what I want- want
Yo, you know just what I want- want

Be boys and be girls around the world
Whether you got a pair of locks or some jabby curls
Get off your big ass, ain’t no time to front
‘Cause you know just what I want- want
Said you know just what I want- want
Yo, you know just what I want- want

I want unity, for you and me
I said, you and I, must unify
I want unity, for you and me
I said, you and I, must unify

Yo, you and I must unify
Yo, you and I must unify
