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