As a little kid I would play pretend
Dreams of making it big and shining would never end
I dreamed endless dreams
Never thinking I would end up blowing killa steam
As a chavalo growing up in this ghetto all I ever wished for
Was a little bro
Someone I could share my visions with
Slowly realizing our own goverment was nothing but a myth
The ones who break
The very laws that they make
Then they blame it on the cursed and unforgiven
Guns and drugs is what we're given
Then they wonder why we behave the way we do
Killing each other for a ****ing color discriminating by crew
But that?s not the life to lead
Chase your dreams never to let go and succed
Thats what my path reads
Even tough sometimes wickedness misleads
My raza I try to unify
But instead by color we divide
Still I keep on trying
To stop the killing and the momma?s crying
Dreams of making it big and shining would never end
I dreamed endless dreams
Never thinking I would end up blowing killa steam
As a chavalo growing up in this ghetto all I ever wished for
Was a little bro
Someone I could share my visions with
Slowly realizing our own goverment was nothing but a myth
The ones who break
The very laws that they make
Then they blame it on the cursed and unforgiven
Guns and drugs is what we're given
Then they wonder why we behave the way we do
Killing each other for a ****ing color discriminating by crew
But that?s not the life to lead
Chase your dreams never to let go and succed
Thats what my path reads
Even tough sometimes wickedness misleads
My raza I try to unify
But instead by color we divide
Still I keep on trying
To stop the killing and the momma?s crying
