Theme for the People

Theme for the People Lyrics

Yeah
This a new generation
Switch up the style, I'm re-generatin'
I be talking to God when I'm hearin' Satan
I'm a black mamba pass like I'm Michael Payton
Why you think I made Everybody
It's a statement, a way of life
Black is beautiful, but today in this day and age
A crooked cop will take away a life
Come now, that sh*t ain't no way of life
Now some people make music, but I'll make a statement
And use it when people feel like they gon' lose it, yeah
Why the f**k you think when it comes to an album
I'm droppin' like two a year
Hol' up, lemme break down what I'm doin' here
I get introspective on a record, with a message deep in the lyrics
But after a while that sh*t get depressin', they don't wanna hear it
They just wanna turn up, so that's when I come back
On that Bobby Tarantino, countin' money, sippin' vino sh*t
It's how we stay relevant to the young
Mean I'd rather be rappin' on breaks
But whatever it takes to take it to the young
I ain't mad at the fact when I rap over 808s with the hat it made me millions
Peep the brilliance like, uh

I grew up on Biggie and GZA
But Roddy was bumpin' that Future and Thug
Give a f**k how you came up
I run up like ten out of ten just to show you some love
Man as long as you're rappin' and killin' sh*t
f**k a car, black man own the dealership
f**k a record label, f**k a deal and sh*t
Keep killin' sh*t, keep
At the crib watchin' Bebop
Writin' rhymes in my book
And I'm bumpin' that heat rock
sh*t smooth when it Pete Rock
I can't f**k with' my phone, need a detox
So I
Pick up the glock like I'm John Wick
Yes, I'm in it for life like a convict
When I switch up the style, wonder who this
No ceilings, like Wayne and no, nah b**ch I'm ruthless
