Chuck D - Beautiful People lyrics

[Intro: Chuck D] We got our ways, but ain't we human beings too? If our lives don't matter, no lives matter Thus life is our future, dying is unacceptable Living for what we believe in is life itself And that in itself is beautiful, iight [Verse 1: A$AP Ferg] Beautiful people let's take a second and think We continue these issues our ship will drown and we sink This is nothing political this is so we be sync Stick together forever and we'll weather the rain We'll weather the storm, let's try to move on Build a better community, so our children be norm Transform from arms and bombs like Vietnam Teach your kid how to eat and teach your kid how to farm Watch what you put in your body so you can live it long Mind, body and soul in tact, proud and you strong This rap ain't no lap it's more like a marathon This track ain't no track just something I set it on Live life in harmony, put love in your arms Forgive to receive the blessing of peace and calm Just a product of Malcolm X and Farrakhan Martin Luther and Marvin Gaye came all to do a ghetto song [Hook] Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful People, people, people, people Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful People, people, people, people [Interlude: Spoken: Mama Ferg] Beautiful people can be defined by Her hair, her eyes, her body Beautiful people Beauty is behind the surface It is the soul, the spirit That lies beneath the soul, the skin It is the power of that beauty that holds us That strengthens us It is the way we dance when we wanna cry It is our mind that creates the definition of the beauty Clear your mind, clear your body Reach for the strength within We are all beautiful people [Verse 2: A$AP Ferg] All my beautiful people, all my beautiful people I'm the ghetto apostle, come on, follow I'll lead you Tell them put down the pipes, liquor bottles and needles Treat your family right, your mommy and daughter need you Grandma, auntie and cousin, OG told you about thuggin' But he ain't amount to nothing, he on top of that oven Then on top of that corner his little n***as be drummin' Blicka-blocka they buck then they finna hit you with somethin' [?] with him as they finna open your pumpkin Popping your collar pimping and this ain't nothin' 'bout stuntin' If you ain't talking thuggin' then you ain't talkin' 'bout nothin' Bullsh**, I'm the pope, I think I am onto something I wanna empower people, wanna empower people White, purple and yellow, and all of my browner people We can be positive, don't let negativity k** you First start with your friends then move a whole town of people
