	Got to give the people
	Ladies and
	GentlemenGive the people what they want
	Ladies and
	Gentlemen[Incomprehensible]
	Got to give the people
	Ladies and
	GentlemenGive the people what they want
	Ladies and
	GentlemenWhen
	I came out with my first rap jam
	I had no idea that the record would slam
	It did real good without radio play
	Maybe at night but no airplay in the day
	I couldn't understand why to be exact
	Our music was good and
	I was far from whack
	Then came the answer, commercial was the key
	To get airplay and a spot on
	TVLike Ed
	Lover and
	Doctor Dre from
	Yo, MTV Raps
	A show, mainly for the black
	And still we can't ill, 'cause to them that's wrong
	Cause like
	P.E. said, we're too black and too strong
	But hey, what can
	I say?Brothers and sisters, that's a price a rapper must pay
	Got to give the people
	Ladies and
	GentlemenGive the people what they want
	Ladies and
	Gentlemen[Incomprehensible]
	Got to give the people
	Ladies and
	GentlemenGive the people what they want
	Ladies and
	GentlemenAs airwaves collapse rap shows at a standstill
	Some racial circuits the frequencies can't handle
	EPMDBut it's a fat jam, that will never win a
	GrammyUnless we sellout and kill the black movement dead
	Which means swallow our pride and become flunkies instead
	And stop the rap about freedom, thoughts of a black president
	And rap about a black crack, the mayor in our residence
	Give me a break brothers, it's time to take a stand
	And kill that, "No sir, yes sir, and thank you, ma'am"'
	Cause the word is a luxury a black man can't afford
	That's why poverty's on the rise and we still ignored
	And it's a setback and yet the clock still ticks
	And if we let it, rap would be run by politics
	I read it somewhere that every man's created equal
	But not in this day and age, maybe in the sequel
	Which means next time, so observe these rhymes
	And take a stand and go for yours cause
	I'm going for mine
	That's why
	IGot to give the people
	Ladies and
	GentlemenGive the people what they want
	Ladies and
	Gentlemen[Incomprehensible]
	Got to give the people
	Ladies and
	GentlemenGive the people what they want
	Ladies and
	GentlemenWhy is that when wrong is done by the black
	It's blown out of proportion and immediately attacked?
	By the press and yes, conflict is caused
	By the kids at concerts who bum rush the doors
	One child gets hurt, the press gets pesty
	But what about the
	Beatles, G, and
	Elvis Presley
	Same stuff was rough, rap does not cause violence
	So fight the power and make them understand
	But too much power and you might get banned
	So if you want airplay
	You can't be too black and hey
	Watch what you say, but ayo
	Got to give the people
	Ladies and
	GentlemenGive the people what they want
	Ladies and
	Gentlemen[Incomprehensible]
	Got to give the people
	Ladies and
	GentlemenGive the people what they want
	Ladies and

	Ladies and
