Bilal - All That I Am (Something For The People) lyrics

[Hook] {x2} All that I am All that I know All that I ever will be and though [Verse One] Out of the mouth of a black man scorned I see you laughing with swollen eyes Life beat a mother when you're playing the losing side But I, dream deferred Vision's blurred A hustle served And anyone who would listen, respect is earned A lesson's learned How many sleepless night's have you How many? How many shift the state have you watched it turn it to fade away While you use all tricks to backtrack Try to be right and exact But lack of paper will make a n***a act Like a n***a, forget that he black Moms is working two jobs Pops is worshiping two gods Yo hard times at the bar downtown Wondering, what's on God's mind [Hook] [Verse Two] Truth is born From the soul of a black man sworn To barren streets from the east, souls get raised Diamonds reflect Pimped out days where my uncle lays his game down He's in the galaxy of game and never came down He's from the same town I mean planet as them, ya know Donald Goines and Iceberg Slim Had a precious angel sharpest in the stable Blond wig, with a pierced naval He branded her his angel In disguise Eating his pockets and feeding him lies After a few broken arms and black guys She wrote a book to make his favor rise Then sold to a system where he'll never breathe again Down to Earth just to leave again [Hook] x4 "Something for the people"
