Starts With Us ft. DJ DN³ & RandomBeats Lyrics

Power to the people y'all because it all starts with us

But I know sometimes people can be hard to trust

Smile in your face but then they be actin' sus

Friends can stab you in the back and that can cut

Deeper than any wound or any weapon you name

And when something like that happens, things are never the same

I've seen family members turned to enemies in a day

For the love of money people do unspeakable things

But it all starts with us, that why we gotta protect

One another and treat each other with some kinda respect

See you can try forgive and try to forget

Or hold on to all your grudges and die with regrets

Its your choice but sometimes you just gotta accept

They'll never change no matter how hard you try to correct

But don't let it affect your mental peace or state of mind

Only way to survive, living in these crazy times

Yo this beat is on fire bout to spark it up

Two sides to every coin I'm bout toss it up

I know that sometimes people can be hard to trust

But yo we gotta stick together 'cause it starts with us

If you got something to discuss well then cough it up

Signals getting crossed because we don't talk enough

All men created equal, in God we trust

Power to the people ya'll because it starts with us

See I'm already hip, to all the games that they play

Sheisty things people do and the things that they say

Ay yo this place is an amazing display of sheer ignorance

its weird isn't it this fear driven culture that were livin' in?

'Cause at first it appears innocent,

But really kid, you could get stuck for a merc'd a mere dividend

They say its all about the Benjamins

but I bet if Benjamin were here he wouldn't be down with how were spendin' him

It's outrageous, ain't it pitiful how they just

Talk behind our backs but then smile in our faces

Like its all gravy, I'm like…is y'all crazy?

I just rocked a show I ain't leavin' till ya'll pay me

Try to play me like a vinyl record

And break me down with all their bullshit and hate

but wait I ain't affected by all that

See I am the essence of raw rap

A lot of emcees wanna test but they best to just fall back

Yo this beat is on fire bout to spark it up

Two sides to every coin I'm bout toss it up

I know that sometimes people can be hard to trust

But yo we gotta stick together 'cause it starts with us

If you got something to discuss well then cough it up

Signals getting crossed because we don't talk enough

All men created equal, in God we trust

Power to the people ya'll because it starts with us
