Worst Comes To Worst
Dilated Peoples Lyrics

Worst come to worst my peoples come first
Regardless of what happens, my people will always be my first priority

Some people got good friends
Some people are lucky enough to have genuine friends

At night I live my life right
I try to live my life according to my principles

Intense, on the edge
I live my life with passion and constantly seek new experiences

On the wild
I embrace risk and danger in my life

I'm from the group where friction leads to fire
Being from a certain group, I know that disagreements and differences can escalate into conflicts

Stack your bricks, the time is take your pick
Time is running out, so it's time to make a decision and plan accordingly

Do or don't, the track Alchemist
There's no middle ground when it comes to pursuing my dreams, and the producer Alchemist's work inspires me

My life is good, I got my peeps in the mix, so
I consider myself fortunate, as I have good friends in my life

I got worldwide family all over the Earth
I have friends and loved ones all over the world

And I worry bout em all for whatever it's worth
I care deeply about their well-being, despite the limitations of my influence

From the birth to the hearse, the streets, the guns burst
From the beginning to the end of life, violence is always a possibility in some parts of the world

Words I disperse are here to free minds
I use my words to challenge conventional thinking and inspire others to think for themselves

And if mine are needy I need to feed mine
If I am struggling or in need of support, I must take care of myself first

Set up shop and write a verse
When things aren't going well, I turn to writing as a way to process my emotions

Actually that's best come to best
In reality, writing is the best thing for me in difficult situations

My lyrics take care of me, they therapy
Writing and creating music is therapeutic for me

Get shit off my chest
Through writing, I am able to express myself and relieve my emotional burden

Extra stress, three-four over the score
I deal with a lot of stress, but I use it as motivation to create even better music

Different patterns of rhymin prepare me for war
My unique style of rapping helps me prepare for the challenges I may face in life

So next time you see us we'll be deadly on tour
The next time you see us perform, we'll be at the top of our game

Word up, if worst comes to worst, I make whole crews disperse
If necessary, I am capable of defeating entire groups of people

You know it's family first
No matter what happens, my family and friends are always my top priority

I'm a glutton for the truth, even though truth hurts
I have a strong desire for the truth, even if it is painful

I've studied with my peoples on streets and in church
I have learned valuable lessons from both life experiences on the streets and religious institutions

We make it hard when we go on first
We set the bar high when we perform first in a competition or event

Long road, honor of the samurai code
My journey has been long and difficult, but I embrace the discipline and values of the samurai

These California streets ain't paved with gold
Life in California can be difficult and harsh

I got them back, at the end of the day
My friends will always support me, no matter what happens

We could go our separate ways but the songs remains
Even if we go our separate ways in life, our shared experiences and memories will continue to connect us

It won't change
The bond between us will always remain strong

Got my target locked at range
I am focused and determined to achieve my goals

I might switch gears but first I switch lanes
I am adaptable and can change my approach as needed to reach my goals

Without my people I got nothing to gain, that's why
My friends and family are what give my life purpose and meaning

Special victims unit, catalyst for movement
Dilated Peoples is a force to drive social change and inspire others

Creates to devastate, since '84 show improvement
We make music to make an impact and have been doing so since 1984, constantly improving along the way

Definitely Dilated Peoples comes first
The band Dilated Peoples will always take priority in our lives

Cross-training spar, we raise the bar
We constantly challenge ourselves and each other to improve and elevate our music

And we put it in your ear no matter who you are
We make music for everyone and strive to reach a wide audience
