"My People” plays as a manifesto of struggle and triumph both on a personal and collective level. He opens with "Sometimes I feel I'm going uphill with the world on my back / Yeah I know I'm far from perfect but I'm working on that." That seems to be the overall tone of the song as reinforced by the hook "Sometimes i think they love me / Sometimes i know they hate me / but at the end of the day I'm gon ride for my people / wrong or right we continue to fight until we see the light / cause I’m down for my people"
