The Eyes Have It Lyrics

Life is goin by fast, I try to grab it
Can I get a aye? Aye, the eyes have it
For the people, by the peoples
The eyes have it, once again it's your peopleYeah, life is goin by fast, I try to grab it
Can I get a aye? Aye, the eyes have it
For the people, by the peoples
The eyes have it, once again it's your peopleI heard the meek shall inherit the earth
I heard those that don't speak up inherit the worst
I heard the rich get the treasures and the right to write history
I heard the poor get buried in dirtI tell people play to win so they're scared of my verse
People scared of their power, people scared of their worth
People scared of success, people barely alert
People scared to get hurt or embarrassed to workI been a security guard at Guitar Center
A food service worker and a telemarketer
Dreamin 'bout goin to [Incomprehensible]
Maybe CalArts or even the Arts CenterBut music was my passion, part of my callin to
Hustle year 'round, spring, summer, fall, winter
Will stop for nothin, you shouldn't start with us

For the people, by the Dilated Peoples, hard hittersLife is goin by fast, I try to grab it
Can I get a aye? Aye, the eyes have it
For the people, by the peoples
The eyes have it, once again it's your peopleYeah, life is goin by fast, I try to grab it
Can I get a aye? Aye, the eyes have it
For the people, by the peoples
The eyes have it, once again it's your peopleOnce again life is goin by fast, I try to grab it
Can I get a aye? The eyes have it
There are exceptions, people use their ties
Without the eyes, only way to win is liesAnd some keep you under false pretense
And any half-truths fall under this roof
You gotta watch for these types, they be plottin
Subliminally waitin for you to get gottenFrom Lost Angels to the rockin Apple
Some get lost or caught by the shrapnel
Shoot your mouth off cause ricochets, watch for that
You never ready when the city fired backNever ready for a hard day's night
And at home life ain't right so they dreamin 'bout a flight
A getaway to divert the day's traffic
But life is right here goin fast, you better grab itLife is goin by fast, I try to grab it
Can I get a aye? Aye, the eyes have it
For the people, by the peoples
The eyes have it, once again it's your peopleYeah, life is goin by fast, I try to grab it
Can I get a aye? Aye, the eyes have it
For the people, by the peoples
The eyes have it, once again it's your peopleFor the people, by the peoples
For the people, by the peoples
The eyes have it, once again it's your peopleY'all know my get down, my day to day
You can't spell Dilate without L.A.
Majority rules, some are outnumbered
It's a jungle out there, sometimes it makes me wonderWhy there's so many rats chasin the cheese?
Cats facin disease, cats facin police
People bendin the rules, just playin to eat
Its like connect the dots every day on the streetLife is goin by fast, I try to grab it
Can I get a aye? Aye, the eyes have it
For the people, by the peoples
The eyes have it, once again it's your peopleYeah, life is goin by fast, I try to grab it
Can I get a aye? Aye, the eyes have it
For the people, by the peoples
The eyes have it, once again it's your people
