[Intro]
Yeah
We'd like to welcome y'all;
Rebel Diaz!
All Power to the People!
[Hook 1]
As long as you playing for the other team
The hood ain't living the American Dream
Yo, I ain't never scared
So we get prepared
'Cause if not, we get stuck in this nightmare
[Verse 1]
Ayo, these rappers made it rain
So my flight's delayed
So I look for sunny days
Creating my own lanes
See, Life takes a toll
So I live the freeway
You playing for the wrong team
You should just request a trade
What if King James was like Muhammad Ali?
Okay, What if Jay Z talked about getting free?
Instead of more beef, we need more green
So we plant more trees on these concrete streets
Please don't leave when you get that degree
Fat cats get the cheese, so we ain't making no grease
See, I stay on the block like return deliveries
And I don't want your company if it includes misery
My gender ain't secret, it's not a mystery
I'm ahead of my time, so the press is missing me
I bet the story would be different in the history pages
If 2Pac would've never set foot in Vegas
[Hook 1]
As long as you playing for the other team
The hood ain't living the American Dream
Yo, I ain't never scared (Never scared)
So we get prepared (Get prepared)
'Cause if not, we get stuck in this nightmare
[Hook 2]
Ayo, News lie to ya
Schools don't school ya
Cops want to shoot ya
But whatcha gonna do about it?
Rich get richer
Poor get thinner (How comfortable yo pillow?)
So what you gonna do about it?
[Verse 2]
I got a fresh pairs of Nikes, (uh-huh)
Make feel nice (yeah)
Like I'm worth more according to what I buy
Ay mamá, no estabas equivocada
The system, te amara;
Sell out or get bought up (yeah)
Drawn by the dollars
Not God or Allah
Except when they invoke to gain more power (more power)
A la moda, follow the code
'cause if not you left out alone in the cold, bruh
See, it's a price on peace, hot price to get a piece
Small slice of that pie make you beast
Crowds in the bucket, it's a must to get above it
If you ain't sharing abundance, then you ain't about nothing
Buggin' if you think we could be one of them
'Bout making more ends than just playing pretend
And when you hit that concrete ceiling even after making millions
You gonna see my vision
[Hook 1]
As long as you playing for the other team
The hood ain't living the American Dream
Yo, I ain't never scared (never scared)
So we get prepared (get prepared)
'Cause if not, we get stuck in this nightmare
[Hook 2]
Ayo, News lie to ya
Schools don't school ya
Cops want to shoot ya
But whatcha gonna do about it?
Rich get richer
Poor get thinner (How comfortable yo pillow?)
So what you gonna do about it?
[Outro]
The American way of life is simply not sustainable, because It doesn't acknowledge that there is a world beyond America
I'm not a Democrat, I'm not a Republican
I don't even consider myself an American
