El Camino

[Hook]

I believed in you
That time you looked me in the eyes and lied to me and told me our dreams would come true
I was a fool

[Verse 1]
All I ever wanted was a Chevy El Camino
I became an alcoholic, unemployed, it crushed my ego
Had a good job, but they sent it overseas, so
To make ends meet I did a lot of things, some illegal
Rolling in a Regal
Really it's a Honda, man
I'm riding out to Chino
Gotta get my cousin something
That he thinks he need, so
He can pay his mama's mortgage
And feed all his people
Fuck the world
Deep in her kegels
I got a friend that had PTSD in the seventh grade
He said he got molested when he went to CYA
By eleventh grade
He was catching every fade
The cops broke his collar bone, rib cage, pepper sprayed him
I never said that he was right
I never said that we was wrong
I always laughed when Rodney King said
"Can't we all get along?"
I don't want to kick it
I don't want to protest and picket
I've seen more change when the city in flames
'Ya dig it?

Black Lives Matter's just a popular phrase
All Lives Matter's what I'm not gon' say
Blue Lives Matter's if a cop was a race
But no lives matter, shoot a cop in the face

A nigga and a cracker
And a 'spic and a kike
And a chink and a faggot
And a tranny and a dyke
Because people are people
We ain't shit and created equal
I never got my mother fucking Chevy El Camino

[Hook]

I believed in you
That time you looked me in the eyes and lied to me and told me our dreams would come true
I was a fool

[Verse 2]

I'm from the City of the Angels
I wrestled with my demons
I make deals with devils
I traded in my hopes, my dreams
My feathers, my halo
For a piece of precious metal
So don't ask me if I'm damned

All I ever wanted was a Chevy El Camino
But I bought a white Bronco
Because OJ was my hero
I wanted Dream Team like Johnnie Cochrane and Rob Shapiro
'Cuz in this world people judge you before they meet you

It's the twenty-tens mayne
And this is my opinion
I state it like a fact, as if there's a difference
Macklemore made a long-ass song about White Privilege, oh I get it
White Privilege is when people listen to your opinions for, like, nine minutes
I'm from the side of the city with most of the crime in it
They built concrete boxes hours out and we'll do time in it
In due time, or not
You'll never know where you'll be, bro
I know I never got my fuckin' Chevy El Camino

[Hook]

I believed in you
That time you looked me in the eyes and told me our dreams would come true
I was a fool
I believed in you
That time you looked me in the eyes and told me my dreams would come true
