[Intro/Chorus[00:04:18]
Life is goin by fast, I try to grab it[00:04:18]
Can I get an eye? (EYE!) The eyes have it[00:04:18]
{*scratched: "For the people, by the people"*}[00:04:18]
The eyes have it, once again it's your people[00:04:18]
Yeah - life is goin by fast, I try to grab it[00:04:18]
Can I get an eye? (EYE!) The eyes have it[00:04:18]
{*scratched: "For the people, by the people"*}[00:04:18]
The eyes have it, once again it's your people[00:04:18]
[Rakaa Iriscience[00:04:18]
I heard the meek shall inherit the earth[00:04:18]
I heard those that don't speak up inherit the worst[00:04:18]
I heard the rich get the treasures and the right to write history[00:04:18]
I heard the poor get buried in dirt[00:04:18]
I tell people play to win so they're scared of my verse[00:04:18]
People scared of their power, people scared of their worth[00:04:18]
People scared of success, people barely alert[00:04:18]
People scared to get hurt, or embarassed to work[00:04:18]
I been a... security guard at Guitar Center[00:04:18]
A food service worker and a telemarketer[00:04:18]
Dreamin 'bout goin to {?}[00:04:18]
Maybe CalArts or even the Arts Center[00:04:18]
But music was my passion, part of my callin to[00:04:18]
Hustle year 'round, spring summer fall winter[00:04:18]
Will stop for nothin, you shouldn't start with us[00:04:18]
For the people, by the Dilated Peoples, hard hitters[00:04:18]
[Evidence[00:04:18]
Life is goin by fast, I try to grab it[00:04:18]
Can I get an eye? (The eyes have it!)[00:04:18]
There are exceptions, people use their ties[00:04:18]
Without the eyes, only way to win is lies[00:04:18]
And some keep you under false pretense[00:04:18]
And any half-truths fall under this roof[00:04:18]
You gotta watch for these types (watch) they be plottin[00:04:18]
Subliminally waitin for you to get gotten[00:04:18]
From Lost Angels to the rockin Apple (L.A.)[00:04:18]
Some get lost or caught by the shrapnel (N.Y.)[00:04:18]
Shoot your mouth off, cause richochets, watch for that[00:04:18]
You never ready when the city fired back[00:04:18]
Never ready for a hard day's night[00:04:18]
And at home life ain't right so they dreamin 'bout a flight[00:04:18]
A getaway to divert the day's traffic[00:04:18]
But life is right here goin fast you better grab it[00:04:18]
[Chorus[00:04:18]
{*scratched: "For the people, by the people"*}[00:04:18]
The eyes have it, once again it's your people[00:04:18]
[Evidence[00:04:18]
Y'all know my get down, my day to day[00:04:18]
You can't spell Dilate without L.A. (all day)[00:04:18]
Majority rules, some are outnumbered[00:04:18]
It's a jungle out there, sometimes it makes me wonder[00:04:18]
[Rakaa Iriscience[00:04:18]
Why there's so many rats chasin the cheese[00:04:18]
Cats facin disease, cats facin police[00:04:18]
People bendin the rules, just playin to eat[00:04:18]
Kinda like connect the dots every day on the street[00:04:18]
[Chorus[00:04:18]
