[Intro] Sirens wailing in the night Mi hermano took the fall, shit ain't right Digital eyes watching every move But real ones know what real ones do [Verse 1] Streets got eyes, cameras everywhere Police radio crackling through the air My brother's freedom traded for mine Now he's doing time on that thin blue line Could've been me in those silver bracelets Instead I'm here, guilt heavy like weights is Every notification got me paranoid Looking over shoulders in this digital void [Chorus] Free my brother from the system (free him) Took my charge without permission (real one) Loyalty ain't what it used to be But he still took the fall for me Para mi gente, para la calle When they ask him, he won't tell tales Digital world try to break us down But street code still runs this town [Verse 2] Phone taps and bodycams got us stressed One wrong move and life's a mess Missing calls from behind them walls While these streets keep making those deadly calls They don't understand our brotherhood Taking hits for family like we should System trying to break what we built But can't erase this Puerto Rican guilt [Bridge] La policía think they know our ways But they don't know about them darker days When loyalty meant more than life When a brother's word cut like a knife [Chorus] Free my brother from the system (free him) Took my charge without permission (real one) Loyalty ain't what it used to be But he still took the fall for me Para mi gente, para la calle When they ask him, he won't tell tales Digital world try to break us down But street code still runs this town [Outro] (Sirens fading) Mi hermano, I won't forget This debt's gonna haunt till I'm dead Real ones know what sacrifice means In these streets, nothing's what it seems
