For the crowd
Bobby bishopToday i saw a monstrosity/it bothered me and my kin/more than anything i think i've been a part of thus far/understand something partner/we pour out our hearts/whether you swallow it or not/become vulnerable to the listener when we rock/taking the stage/praying the spirit will reign/hearing it plain/this is ministry-laced entertainment/and the family i'm claiming gains peace in the fact/the rap we piece together/it's bringing some peace to the masses/i have respect for the fans/if you have to call them that/but to us they're the fam/and we're building this kingdom/i've seen some/stuff i'm thinking/to some is a joke/and so i'm making an exception to my normal approach/you know?/give 'em impressions/you can win their affection/flexing/tell 'em you respect 'em/never questioned for a second/your intentions are destined/to leave you depressed/my brethren/900 seconds are ending/give it a rest/

This is for the crowd/i'm thanking you for making it loud/no doubt/i'm thanking you for making it loud/no doubt
This is for the fans/believe it man/to me you're the fam/i said believe it man/to me you're the fam/believe it man/
This is for the people/with you there is no us/i said without you/there is no us/it's just/
This is for my equals/let's fellowship and build some trust/i said let's fellowship and build some trust/what's up?/
Verse 2
So this bloke graced the stage/and he cast 'em a line/he hooked 'em in/by recognizing he can max and recline/never mind challenging masses/flexing your skills/as an encouragement to fulfill/whatever god has instilled/instead he bites the ripest trends/trying to get you to like him/snatched a trucker hat/off that mary kate and ashley rack/got them to stop thinking for themselves/as if they're mindless/the object's run their pockets for those twenty dollar bills/you cleaned up shop/doc/at what cost?/tempted to put you on at the western front/just to watch 'em boo you off/so to the fans/don't me mindless/try to push through it/next time he says to do a stupid dance/don't do it/he roped you in/kin/don't take it no more/the ice grills across the tent must have been cold for sure/inspired me to be an emcee/always in need of tightening/inspired me to be me/regardless if they like me/

Verse 3
I'm touching the subject/a sensitive button/it's funny/rhyme books should be currency/we write on the money/reiterate/i'm slated in the category of god's grace/ain't no debate/he painfully paid my alimony/but to toss god in a song/sans/knowledge or consistency/got me boggled/pondering if we missed a couple of beats/rationalize/yo/we know christ/unless the clubs about to jump/we're wondering if he'll keep up/i'm not a judge/just pointing out the obvious/the only us they know/is what we show 'em in songs/flee responsibility/or see power in music/influence is influence/it's all in how we use it/
