Dilated Peoples › Lyrics › Reach Us

Dilated, dilated, dilated

Yo, I kill Ciphers, that's how I went from good to God
It ain't perfect, yet n' still the hood is ours
And it's worthy, good people here work hard
But the news really only shows crooks and stops

It hold you for commercials and talk you into buyin' s***
I was taught to learn from life and learn from my environment
Rocka walks the street as the son of a preacher
Who's the son of a preacher with people tryin' to reach ya

I visualize the rise and realize the fallin'
High as time flies I recognize the callin'
Went from lavish life to savage life back to lavish life
But never average, might be caught like Christ for the sacrifice

I still roll up my trees
For modesty I meditate and roll up my sleeves
We adjustin', re-adjust
I said I touch the world and the world said, "Reach us"
Reach us, open up the world people like me and you

You know these days ain't gettin' any longer
Now It's do or die, now or never, time to hit the street
We on the move, ride out with s*** to prove
Everywhere we go they like, "It's a green light for you"

Got lyrics about pleasure some about pain
From Southern Cali where they say it never rains
It's different dames that make me count blessings
We burn for our peeps that ain't here as we sing, reach us

In God we trust, no doubt that's a must
A hundred times see us but still catch the rush
And when we fly bless the sky, let your mission unfold
You in the car we in the bus bless the road

How could I reach you if I wasn't real
Might have to go before you really studied the flow
And understand the deal
This year f*** before mad, loud and clear
You know that's the truth they can't, reach us

Reach us
Say this, 'cause I mean it from the heart
Reach us

Yo, what happened to me, nah, what happened to you
The crew ain't changed the numbers the sames
The lack and the fools, the check for Cali dimes
Down to Georgia peaches, at our shows to book us
Carra Lewis is how you reach us

Got ho's girls I see got queens
Got friends got enemies and in-betweens
Teacher are students, students are teachers
Low key or prestigious I reach you, you reach us

I see lines around the block in the snow it's cold now
I see people gettin' hot when the show is sold out
I see dime pieces fight to the front to rap along
To every word, word for word to every song, reach us

I raise every head and every arm
In every jam from every stage we stand on
People climbin' over barricades and still
I tell security chill, they only tryin' to, reach us

Reach us, reach us, reach us, reach us, reach us
