[Intro: Leslie West & Common]
Louder— louder— louder— louder—
Louder— louder— louder— louder— yeah
Louder— louder— louder— louder—
Louder— louder— (Yeah)
Louder— louder— yeah (It's for the people)
Louder— louder— louder— louder—

[Chorus: Common]
This is street radio, for unsung hero
Riding in they regal, trying to stay legal
My daughter found Nemo, I found the new Preemo
'Ye, you know how we do, we do it for the people

[Verse 1: Common]
And the struggle of the brothas and the folks
With lovers under dope, experiment to discover hopes
Scuffle for notes, the rougher I wrote, times was harder
Went from rocky starter to a voice of a martyr
Why white folk focus on dogs and yoga?
While people on the low end tryna ball and get over
Lyrics are like liquor for the fallen soldiers
From the bounce to the ounce, it's all our culture
Everyday we hustlin', tryna get them custom rims
Law, we ain't trusting them, thick broads, we lust in them
Sick and tired of punching it, I look on the bus at them
When I see 'em struggling, I think how I'm touching them
The people
