| I’m headed for the lights, headed for my city
|
| Headed for my future if you’re not too busy
|
| Maybe you could ride with me, so pull up your todd britches
|
| Got that homicide sickness all I needs an eye witness
|
| Who can properly depict between skills and shit
|
| Between real and fixed between deals and tricks
|
| A damn shame, my niggas won’t change for shit
|
| Still trapped behind chains and whips
|
| Yo, these fucking cowards sit in towers
|
| Building idols you can follow
|
| Keep it catchy, keep it simple, keep it empty, keep it hollow
|
| I brush it off my shoulder and straighten up my collar
|
| I believe there’s a much higher power than that mighty dollar
|
| Here’s a letter to my efforts and the truth is enclosed
|
| Our enemies will flee when their troops are exposed
|
| All the money and the fame, the jewels and the clothes
|
| Will never be able to heal the wounds on your soul
|
| Trust me I know at times it’s tough
|
| See we all fall down
|
| But it’s a must that we get back up
|
| And we will never fall, we’ll rise above it all
|
| I’m trying to tell you homie anything is possible
|
| Overcome any obstacle, ain’t no way they’ll be stopping you
|
| You know we’ll never fail, together we’ll prevail
|
| And I would never want to lose these scars
|
| They remind me that life is hard but I’m still reaching for the stars
|
| And we will never fall, we’ll rise above it all
|
| I try to tell them like blocka blocka this is Viva La Raza
|
| Long live the people trust me they will never stop us
|
| And we will never fail, together we’ll prevail |
