we are the people

Zayn

We are the people we ve been looking for
Where are the people we ve been looking for?

I guess I m at the floor with the door wide open
cause I seen more than I had need for
But the sea s raw that I pull from
so I don t need more than what I ve been through
But I been true
what it gives you is a mad truth, yo
I been poor, let me tell you
That I m now grown and what I speak
now is now my own tone
cause time s fast and it s been goin
I ve learnt this and I ve been knowin
think I m past it and it s still showin
It s a backfist and it s still goin
it s a mad myth and it s still blowin
It s a warm day and it s still snowin
it s a hard truth, what they tell you
isn t all fact or cement proof
Like a left hand when you use two
ambidextrous, use my best too
It s a guess game, can you guess who?
It s a meth lab makin mad tunes
It s some Def Jam, fight for all you
cause I paid mine, what are your dues?
Cause in all lights, it s just bad news
if the best part isn t your truth
Then the rest dies with your soul
truth and the rest part with the weight too
It s a chess game and I m fate s mule
it s the next chance that I ll work through
It s the next cancer I ll burn through
it s the next banter I grin for
It s the next hand that I reach
for will be the whole thing that I long for
As I skate by on a long board on a long day
and I m not bored
Do I push you pause on the encore?
Did they not get what they came for?
This is Sam Cooke in a rap form
do I stop now? Do I rap more?
Got your whole plan on a platform
This ain t gang shit, this is conscious
does the glove fit on the object?
Still an outcast, this is dumb math, this is fake gas
This is same people down the same path
with their own face up their own ass
Watch the stones thrown as their home glass
it s a brave move, but it don t last
It s a costume and a fake fad
cause it irks me and I stay mad
It s a fucked world and I hate that
I hate that, I hate that, I hate that
Ain t no one tell ya man
rather save that shit for later
I m sayin , Death to stars
like my middle name is Vader
I m hittin Earth, I m going off
this rock the size of craters
Fuck what Pops they said, I flopped
I m here for a good debatin
I laced with statements
bring the thunder like I m Raiden
Til I plunder to my greatness
it s a wonder why I waited
Don t care what s been rated
such flair that Rick been shakin
They look, see me flamin , I m slavin over the pot
These neighbors know what I got
I m fuckin the whole game with it
Labels are made for shops
no product that needed placement, shit
