[Intro: Chuck D & A$AP Ferg]
~#**************#~
We got our ways, but aint we human beings too?
~#**************#~
If our lives dont matter, no lives matter
~#**************#~
Thus, life of our future, dying is unacceptable
~#**************#~
Living for what we believe in is life itself (Uh)
~#**************#~
And that in itself is beautiful, people (Uh)
~#**************#~
[Verse 1: A$AP Ferg]
~#**************#~
Beautiful people, lets 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 well weather the rain
~#**************#~
Well weather the storm, lets 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 we can live it long
~#**************#~
Mind, body and soul in tact, proud and you strong
~#**************#~
This rap aint no lap, its more like a marathon
~#**************#~
This track aint 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 all through a ghetto song
~#**************#~
[Chorus: A$AP Ferg & Nikki Grier]
~#**************#~
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
~#**************#~
People, people, people, people
~#**************#~
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful (Beautiful)
~#**************#~
People, people, people, people
~#**************#~
[Interlude: Mama Ferg]
~#**************#~
Beautiful people can be defined by her hair, her eyes, her body
~#**************#~
Beautiful people, beauty is behind the surface
~#**************#~
It is the soul, the spirit that lies beneath the soul, the skin
~#**************#~
It is the power of that beauty that holds us, that strengthens us
~#**************#~
It is the way we dance when we wanna cry
~#**************#~
It is our mind that creates the definition of the beauty
~#**************#~
Clear your mind, clear your body
~#**************#~
Reach for the strength within, we are all beautiful people
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: A$AP Ferg]
~#**************#~
All my beautiful people, all my beautiful people
~#**************#~
Im the ghetto apostle, come on, follow, Ill lead you
~#**************#~
Tell em put down the pipes, the liquor bottles and needles
~#**************#~
Treat your family right, your mommy and daughter need you
~#**************#~
Grandma, auntie and cousin, OG told you bout thuggin
~#**************#~
But he aint ‘mount to nothing, he on top of that oven
~#**************#~
Still on top of that corner, his little niggas be drummin
~#**************#~
Blicka-blocka, they buckin, they finna hit you with somethin
~#**************#~
Jack-o-lantern with hammers, they finna open your pumpkin
~#**************#~
Popping your collar pimping and this aint nothin bout stuntin
~#**************#~
If you aint talkin thuggin then you aint talkin bout nothin
~#**************#~
Bullshit, Im 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, dont let negativity kill you
~#**************#~
First start with your friends then move a whole town of people
