Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G]This is for my, this is for my,
this is for my people
Yeah!
Willie
D
[G]99
Time to get mine
[G]You can get yours too
Know what I mean?
Just cause you live in the ghetto
Don't mean
[G]That the ghetto gotta live in you
Know [G]what I'm saying?
Check me out
Lord guide my tongue while
I speak to my folks
And please help us all,
in the face of adversity
[Gm]Gotta [G]stand tall, given the evil that men do
We must not, I know you're tired
of the beans and getting cussed out
By momma, see momma depressed
[D]cause daddy [G]hit the road
And left her to swing the [Gm]whole
fuckin' [G]load and that's blow
When you man enough to raise your 40
But ain't man enough to raise your shorty,
never
Yeah, look at the shape
that our people's in
We get so fucked up that we kill our friends
My homie's sister had sex,
cause she felt neglected
And caught something that she
couldn't throw back
Cause she was unprotected
Lil'
Cedric's just 13 selling
drugs
And he'll probably catch
a slur before we catch a hug
No love [G]at home
I know some of y 'all think
he ain't shit
That's what's wrong with us
All my people, listen to this
[G]I think you're truly
something spe[Gm]cial
[G]For sure
This is for my people
Only you can stop you
And your dreams are very special
I think you're truly something special
Just put your mind to [G]it,
it's always light at [G]the end of the tunnel
Trust me, you're special,
let no man tell you different
If he does, hold your chin up, smile
and keep your distance
And I know in these words
it's hard to find satisfaction
But as long as you breathe it, you got action
To my people that's become junkies,
life's hard but you can make it, yes you can
Just believe in
God, they gave us [G]dope
to try to dick us
Funding their wars off the misery of niggas,
oh how they trick us
Let my words set an example
Look at the boys and girls in
my words be inspiration
For you to conquer the world baby girl
[G]You ain't gotta be ashamed
Cause he raped you
[F]Grab my [G]hand and let me take you
To a place where you can find courage
To go on
Get your self -esteem back intact
And so on
And just remember
It wasn't your fault
Fuck that bass to raise your head
Whenever you want
Cause you special
You ain't gotta cry
I know the roads in life
Can be rough sometimes
But you can't ever allow
anybody to steal your joy
You believe in
God, don't you?
Sure you do
He ain't gonna never give you
more than you can bear
Come on now
The rebels see us in prison,
then see us in church
My homie came into
Cherokee, but left in the hearse
I dedicate this verse to the elderly
The ones who sacrificed and
paved the way for me
But [D]ac cused and [G]abused,
yet you touched
Every step was monumental,
not a drop in the bucket
You could've said fuck it and gave up,
but you didn't
I love y 'all for that,
I ain't bullshittin'
Because you stood up to fight them folks
Willie
D got the right to vote
And
I'ma [G]tell you something else, baby
If it wasn't for you,
we'd probably still be on the back of the bus too
Respect's due as long as
[D]I'm on this planet
I'll never disrespect [G]you or
take your [Gm]struggles for granted
And [G]if anybody else does,
they gotta [G]deal with me
But dear, [D]even though you're [G]not still with me,
you are special
So you see,
we can't [D]keep abandoning [Gm]our families
And wondering [G]why ain't no
unity in the community
And if a kid don't love himself
How the hell he gonna
[D]love somebody [G]else?
Children are just like bank accounts
You get out of them,
exactly what you put [G]into them[G]
[G]And your dreams are very special I
think you're truly something special
