and you gotta come back up
The people that wanna see you down
They're succeeding every time
Everythings could be alright
So all you got's yourself
that my brother goes to court
he's gonna give him ten or more
and robbing liquor stores
That's the life of a hoolump
311 8th Street, born and raised
My father moved us out the hood
But my father's prediction failed
and destiny knocked at the door
And we became the worst bangers
Don't cry, don't shed no more tears
Everything's gonna be alright
for all the pain that I caused
I wish we could conversate,
I wish you could talk to me
you're always walking out the door
Remember the first time we met,
you wouldn't give me a chance
you were looking for romance
But I kept on bothering you,
And you fell in love with me,
cause what I have inside you
Don't cry, don't shed no more
Everything's gonna be alright,
Lord, we gotta communicate, Lord,
We ain't never gonna last
We got love, that's what we got
My mother pushed me to the side
Told me she didn't have enough
Back to hustling on the street
There's nine in my family
There's three girls, four boys,
my parents learned how to survive
My father came to this country
just to make everything right
Even though through hard times,
Don't cry, don't shed no more
Everything's gonna be alright
You gotta be close with your family
you ain't got nothing in this world
well that's all we got man
You know, that's all we got in this world,
Don't cry, cry, don't cry no more
Everything's gonna be alright
Will I ever make it this rap game?
Will the street politics take my fame?
cause they hate it once they see me dead?
it's in my nature not to back down
I was born to be the best
It seems like all my life,
Getting chased by the cops,
when is it ever gonna stop?
I'm tired of fake rappers,
always trying to get all the glory
Line them all up against the wall
and that's the end of the story
that makes my mind balance out
I'm always thinking of different ideas
so I know I'm gonna shine
cause I lived a poor life
and I'm filled with Mexican pride
is to never give up on your dreams
all you gotta do is believe
we gotta get together man
We gotta unite my Latin people
My Mexicans out there man,
We don't make this happen,
It's a Latin world out there,
no matter what they tell you,
we're two steps ahead of them.
don't shed no more tears.
