Live Oak

Marcho valientemente siempre al frente de su gente Sobre el pecho reluciente su Guanín I was born next to a condor nest In the Andean Mountains where Atahualpa rests From the moment we breathe There's zero tolerance for boys that look like me The shade of my skin is criminalized Time to preserve the indigenous phenotype Fell in love with a Native shorty She look like my ancestors homie Ha I said it no liberal political correctness in my message Native 'til the death my people come first Being an emcee is a title that's earned So write your own lyrics if not you're finished The pressures on Present to dismantle the oppression dawg Show the youth how gifted they are We might lose a battle but we'll win the war There's zero stagnation in the universe Either you die or you grow So I hit them pull-ups bro Lava rocks tied to my feet these knuckles are bloody Push-ups on the concrete huaraches are muddy I'm running full throttle towards my goals Never shackled to a bottle my sobriety is code Kindergarten Jaguar with the Jansport Maria walked her seed home from Live Oak I'm never faded fam my radiance will last So I channel energy into a jaded mask Never faded I'm available for combat Drummin' for justice no substance can hold me back No substance can hold me captive They can't capture a savage I'm Maria's seed here to tell you what's happenin' I'm never faded fam my radiance will last So I channel energy into a jaded mask Never faded I'm available for combat Drummin' for justice no substance can hold me back No substance can hold me captive They can't capture a savage I'm Maria's seed here to tell you what the math is Settin' up the soccer cones at Live Oak My father is the realest grinded non-stop The illest soccer coach and a factory job Made sure we always had a meal Its certain gear he wouldn't let me wear Afraid I'll get killed in these California fields its real They aim at your ball cap Instead of a tall can I buy my son a toy homeboy Avoid the poison Never understood how someone could prefer The alcohol bottle over being a father So I'm never fictional I'm Místico in a Battle Royal Loyal to this Turtle Island soil You're more Aristotle I'm more Nezahualcoyotl I'm from the Four Corners where the condor soars I'm Andean born this story will be told No intro this the Jaguar lord I'm never faded fam my radiance will last So I channel energy into a jaded mask Never faded I'm available for combat Drummin' for justice no substance can hold me back No substance can hold me captive They can't capture a savage I'm Maria's seed here to tell you what's happenin Everyday I wake and go get plata If you're in my way ima ankle pick you Hit you with the Gogoplata I have the anger and the hunger some of yall don't Some don't stand for nothing anymore Pre-school to fifth grade I went to Live Oak Seems like I'm on my own when its time to battle All I need is my shadow I'm a Sapa Inca not a Pharaoh Marcho valientemente siempre al frente de su gente Sobre el pecho reluciente su Guanín
