lyrics

(Verse 1, Conscious)
The reason for this rhyme, ain't none in particular
Hit like vehicular homicide
I'm lettin' the rhyme personify right in front of your eyes
If you're soft like the inside of a pie then don't try this
So far, so fly, so I keep it movin'
Came to a toll so I paid then went through it
I'm makin' moves, breakin' rules, if I have to
I'll snap, then I'll crack you
I'll do what I have to to pass through life
With a satchel solid as a statue
Won't tap your back to ask if I can pass you
I'll blast past, long gone like fast cash
A strong song, smash glass, and gash your face pal
Prepare, bash your face, that's the bare facts
Run laps like race tracks while you stuck like thumb tacks
Wait a minute, style sent you straight to the cllnic, I get way up in it
Miles way past the rest, infinite
Meaning no ending, long lasting, forever and past then
How do you measure a fraction of an ongoing process that death could not stop
My last breath becomes my first breath from the start
Statement meant much more than words relaying
You takin' it for granted, smack you in the head for sayin' stupid shit that you shoulda never said
Some chit chat like that in the streets could leave you dead
Damn, I hope you hear me, do you hear me, yes I hear me

(CHORUS)
I got my people, I got my people 'round me

(Verse 2, Boommer Milazzo)
I'm workin' hard every day to get the cheddar
But no matter what I do I'm not feelin' clever
Cuz I got no car, no sick chain
I got nothin' that these materialistic motherfuckers claim
Well hold us above each other
I'm freestylin' off the top of the dome, that's how I do
And I've been bringin' the weather and seeking out what I must do
And if you ain't rappin' and spittin' the right attitude
Then my crew might ride up on you with a couple of caribous
And be like, "Dude, what you doin' in this neck of the woods?"
We loose, we spittin' moonshine flows, spittin' flame
And every day same thing unless you change
So I've been tryna preach to all the people around me
Younger or older, I must say, I must be an OG and keep on going every day
Cuz I'm seein' these mother truckers livin' a different way

(SHORT CHORUS)
I got my people, I got my people 'round me

That's all I need, I got my people
and they all around me
Every day I'm wakin' up and I ain't cookin' brownies
I'm smokin' Js
and livin' the way I want to
Every day same thing, unless you reflont, dude
I do what I gotta do to get by
Keep it 9-5, try to strive, try to keep it going
My mind is a weapon, don't be steppin' I'm bringin' the flame
And all my people 'round me know my name

(CHORUS)
I got my people, I got my people 'round me

(VERSE 3, PARIAH)
I've been contemplating conversations I have with myself
Tryna find a path to healing my pride
I tend to overanalyze my feelings when I'm cutting this rope
Arguing with voices screaming inside
It's easy to get lost in all the shit that they pile on
They're pointing out the flaws that I have tried to ignore
When the man you thought one day you'd be is just a fleeting thought
What else is there to do but try to open another door
Can't stay in this room, I need to find an escape
Even if I must abandon my fate
Maybe destiny is what some of us buy, like there's no other way
Selective about what we hear, but not what we say
It's a choice, and I seem to get caught up in the act
We take propaganda in while we're ignoring the facts
But I must focus on what I'ma do when I get back home
Watching the world pass me by when I'm on the road
I remember broken dreams, and the sting of the loss
Lately it's a constant theme in my art
When a poison seeps in and stops the beat of a sacred heart
Every one of us surrounding would be paying the cost
An epidemic shatters all that we know and love
How the hell can I find peace through the death of a dove?
I'm tryna fill a hole that was left behind
But I'm just screaming to a void above...and there's no answer
Light a candle for the sinner
Set the world on fire
Gotta spark something to light a different thought
If I don't spit some of this madness out there into the sky
Then the fractures in my glass were all for naught
Caught between loneliness and craving isolation
Fighting not to make decisions out of desperation
And that ain't easy, but I'm trying, I've made my mistakes
I've been driving for a while, but I'm still learning the brakes
I'm learning more about the past by living in the present
A ray of sunshine told me this:
That there's no fear or anxiety in the present moment
So it's in that space that I'm tryna live, with my people

(CHORUS)
I got my people, I got my people 'round me
