Joey Bada$$

This for my people, tryna stay alive and just stay peaceful

So hard to survive a world so lethal

Who will take a stand and be our hero, of my people, yeah?

Before the money there was love

But before the money it was tough

Then came the money through a plug

It’s a shame this ain’t enough, yo

This one time, I said, “Lord, would you help?”

Some short time after, see my music on the shelf

So we pray to the Gods, the Jahs and the Allahs

To keep us safe and watch our lives
