For My People
by Phil J.

Album: For My People - Single

Chorus
Puttin' in work to feed my people
I'm done with the tomfoolery, making my bread, and dodging evil
I gotta make my way up
The industry I'm 'bout to shake up
I'm always putting in labor
I will never waiver, never waiver

Post-Chorus
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (Yeah!)

Verse 1
There've been some wrong things I put my trust in, I won't deny it
On this road to growth, you learn who and what to rely in
Needed some positive energy in my vicinity, seeking alliance
With the peace of the Lord, believing His promises
Stayin' alert, no compromises
I mean compromising, can't do it
It's been some years just forming the sound
Gotta make some bread off the innovation to share with the family and all of my rounds
Bringin' the vibes in areas that truly need it
Turning frowns upside-down
We gotta cherish the freedom, we got the keys to the Kingdom
It doesn't matter the season, I'ma be

Chorus
Puttin' in work to feed my people (Feed my people)
I'm done with the tomfoolery, making my bread, and dodging evil (So true, so true)
I gotta make my way up (Make my way up)
The industry I'm 'bout to shake up (Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I'm always putting in labor
I will never waiver, never waiver (I will never waiver)

Post-Chorus
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (Oh-woah-woah)
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (Oh-woah-woah)
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (Oh-woah-woah)
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (Yeah-ah, yeah!)

Verse 2
Yes, success I'm cravin'
Not just for all the paper
I've gotta build a legacy to pass onto all of my babies
Ayy, I see the gold on the radar
I just need more patience
I'm eager to get my wife whatever she wants, and feed a few families in Haiti
Buy a single mom a brand new Mercedes (Brand new Mercedes)
Givin', investin', just sowin' like crazy (Sowin' like crazy)
Makin' you dance, like Patrick Swayze (Patrick Swayze)
I'm lovin' the joy that music creatin'
Can't believe I slowed the grind being so lazy, uhh
Waitin' for some validation
I'm liberated from my old ways
God deserves all of my praise, yessir!

Bridge
(Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm) Yeah, I've gotta feed my people, yeah
(Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm) Hmm, ah, I've gotta feed my people
(Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm) Yeah, I've gotta feed my people
I've gotta feed my people, hey! (Hey, hey, hey!)

Chorus
Puttin' in work to feed my people (Feed my people)
I'm done with the tomfoolery, making my bread, and dodging evil (Hey, yeah, hey!)
I gotta make my way up (Make my way up)
The industry I'm 'bout to shake up (About to shake up)
I'm always putting in labor (Yeah, yeah)
I will never waiver, never waiver (Woo!)

Post-Chorus
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (Oh, woah)
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (Woah-oh, woah)
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (Woah-oh, woah)
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (Woo, yessir, aww!)
