Real People Lyrics - Be - Common

[Intro] 

Yeah, yeah, you know how me and 'Ye do 

[Verse 1] 

Real People walk in the streets, the streets is talkin' 

Often it's beef this city never does 

People walk and talk in they sleep 

Cold sweats and wet dreams 

On how to get green our faith is all in a jeep 

Black souls raw and they deep 

Hypes tryna talk with no teeth 

Shorties sayin' ball or retreat 

A lesson we all speak at one point or another 

Whatchu expect from one who smoke a joint with his mother 

Anointed hustlers in a fatherless region 

Through the pain wish they know that God was just teachin' 

We want decent homes 

So dreams we say out loud like speakerphones just to keep em on 

It's like a colored song that keep keepin' on 

I guess knowin' I'm weak is when I'm really bein' strong 

Somehow through the dust I could see the dawn 

Like the Bishop Magic Juan, that's why I write freedom songs 

For the real people

[Verse 2] 

I wonder is the spirits of Bob Marley and Haile Selassie 

Watch me as the cops be tryna and pop and lock me 

They cocky, plus they mentality is Nazi 

The way they treat blacks I wanna snap like paparazzi 

We're the children of a better God searchin' for better jobs 

We could cop ghetto cars tryin' not to catch a charge 

They say the dope game is sour 

Now they doin' homework that's when they follow you for hours 

Come to your crib and devour all that you work for 

Must be more than paper these niggaz hurt for 

Through the purple haze I circle days I rhyme that work for pays 

Tryna reverse the slave's mind and insert the brave mentality 

Heard that it's drama at home 

Can a dude break free and still get honored at home 

I was told by a chief it's the games nature 

When you're glowin' some will love and some will hate ya 

It's real people

[Verse 3] 

Black men walking wit white girls on they arms 

I be mad at em as if I know they moms 

Told to go beyond the surface, a person's a person 

When we lessen our women our condition seems to worsen 

The weary cursin' the sky 

Talkin' to themselves givin' the version of why help and hurt in they eye 

I live across from it, some of it I do be in 

I be showin' niggaz lives 

Like UPN 

It's real people 

Yeah. 

For you and yours 

Good music 

Forever 

Yeah 

Rock on 

We keep on 

Uh. Yeah 

Yeah, yeah 

The real...
